Hi everyone,
Kokonuts and I will start collaborating soon about planning this year's get together. This will be our third annual event for a day of comradare and story telling.

Last year we met the last weekend in June to give us a chance to try out some promos and add new favorites to the tackle box shopping list. In 2009 we met mid -July.

For curiosity's sake, would you rather plan a last weekend in June event again, or aim for a later July/early August gathering at Merwin or Yale.

- June gives a chance to hear some tips mid season.
- Late summer has bigger fish.
- Yale - Daily limit 15, avg size 11-15" (Usually the less crowded lake because it's 10 minutes further down the road)
- Merwin - Daily limit 5, avg fish in July 13-18"

I'm burning the midnight oil with more grad school for now, but come May 6 my term will be over an I'll be able to put some time into the prep work.

In any event we hope you can join us. It's always a great day of filling open seats, swappin "true" tales of fish gone by, and hanging out with family and new friends pot-luck style.

Northwest KFF Family Day

I cant wait for the season to start!!

I think having the Family Day in June at Yale Lake is a great idea, we have plenty of time to plan, test all the latest gear & even catch a few before then!

Be sure to vote & spread the word !

Kokonuts tooexcited
 
Last Saturday in June works best for me. I have never attended one of these before but it sounds like fun and would like to fit it in to an already hectic summer schedule.

Don't forget the derby dates for those that like to partake in that action.

I will do my best to attend if at all possible! I cast my vote and will sit back and wait. Let's see...do I want to fish in a beautiful place, in great weather conditions, with like minded (fish nuts!) folks...you bet!!!
 
I'm in for the last Sat in June too. thumbsup Hopefully this year we can catch more fish! I look forward to seeing everyone again.
 
Camping at Yale

There is a small camp ground at Couger. it's just east of town. A few miles further is a larger camp ground. that is the one Iv'e used. It's at the other end of the lake from the dam. Last years meeting site was about in the middle of the lake.
 
Campgrounds

There is another real nice campground at the upper end of Lake Merwin and its about 1 mile from the Dam & Launch ramp at Yale Lake. That way you could fish both lakes if you have the time. Sorry I cant think of the name of it but its the only overnite campground at Lake Merwin.

Kokonuts, you are thinking of Cresap Bay campground. That is a nice campground, with a pretty decent launch site. Directly across from the entrance is Beaver Bay, which is another launch site for Yale, but I haven't used that one. I can't wait to get out theretooexcited
 
June date is good to get more people involved as well as training time. Later dates due to the larger Pink season coming up could take away a lot of numbers.
