I will come right after our cleanup on the Chilliwack Vedder but will most likely be all over but can help with take down.
Lets hope the sun continues to shine for both events. ;D

Always showing up after the labour-intensive work is done. ;D Or are you just trying to avoid Bassonator? ;D I should change the event name to "Fish Farms for the Future". ;D ;D ;D

Don't forget to bring the Dutch gang after the cleanup. We're not going to Sockeye City this year by the way, that's too overpriced and not as good as Pajo's, which is the new designated post-event fish and chips gathering venue. ;D

Pacific Angler will be doing the fly casting demonstrations and clinics throughout the event this year.

Berry's Bait and Tackle will be supplying dew worm and krill for the event once again. We'll also have lots of Pautzke Bait products for people to try out.

We really appreciate the support from our advertisers when it comes to community involvement.

Now that would be a 'must attend' event :D  Maybe Chris could help you organize it???
Basso, take it easy on Gadsden as he is getting on and don't accept any of those damn stickers he keeps threatening to put on my truck ;D

Seriously Rod, good luck with this great event.

Thanks Dave. :) You should hitch a ride in the Leaf Mobil after the cleanup so you can join us for fish and chips. ;D

Well now, you schedule your event on the same days as the river cleanup so you donot have to buy the gas to travel to the Chilliwack as well as get your hands dirty on doing some real work.. ;D ;D
Well you can still buy at Pajo's. ;D ;D

Four days until the event! We should have enough volunteers now but if you are still interested to help out on Saturday, please feel free to let me know. Bring your kids out on Saturday, it's gonna be hot so sunscreen and plenty of water is a must.

How many do you have and what are they interested in doing? I gotta make sure we don't end up with too many so they don't stand around and get too bored... :o

That's great. I think right now we have around 10 people (including the people you are bringing) helping on the floating dock and pier for setting up rods, baiting hooks etc. I may borrow two of them for licence writing so we have four people doing it, in case we get too many kids coming at once...

27C forecasted for Saturday!

It will be hot for sure. I'm going to have a big cooler filled with ice and bottled water to make sure you are all hydrated. :)

Volunteers, when you get to the event, can you please park across the street at 6111 Dyke Road. The property owner is very generous and once again allowing us to use their lot for volunteer parking. :) I want to keep the main lot as free as possible for families that are coming to the event.

Nina and I are going to be down there at 8:30am to set up tents. Right now Lucky and Chrome Mykiss (well, he doesn't know it yet) are coming down at the same time to help me. I can use one or two more bodies (Funeral of Hearts? ;) ). Feel free to show up anytime between 9am and 9:45am since you guys got a longer drive, that's when we expect all the tables and groups to arrive etc.
