Wounded Warrior Fishing Program

Kokanee Fishing Forums

Help Support Kokanee Fishing Forums:

Welcome KingChinook. If you've read all posts,first to last, then you know you will need all the required saftey gear, insurance,and your boat registration. Friday or Saturday a more detailed plan of times and locations will be forthcoming. We now have as many boats as Wounded Vets. We may get a few walk on troopers. I don't seethis as a problem. Does anyone else have a problem with this? If so, speak up.
Chris.
 
Sponsorship

I have talk to Chris and Mr. Gabriel, and have agreed to the sponsorship for access to Fort Lewis for the WW fishing day. What this entails if you plan on using the Fort Lewis launch you have to be sponsored to get access to the installation. I will need everyone to PM me with their full name and the year and make of the model of vehicle they have. I will then intern compose a memo to turn into the Military police office signed by me. This will only speed up the process of gaining access; you will still have to stop at the main visitor’s center exit 120 to get a pass. At the visitors center you will be required to show proof of registration and insurance on all vehicles also upon entry all vehicles are subject to search. I know a lot have concealed weapons licenses please leave all weapons at home concealed weapons are not allowed on Fort Lewis. If you have any questions please PM me and I’ll respond to you, also as the date approaches I will complete a strip map to the launch and event site. Also I will provide you with my cell number in case there are any hiccups they can call me. I don't see a problem if you launch at other launches and come accross to the event if you wish. The visitors center will have a copy of the memo which will speed up the process.

Thanks TNF

Camping /Cabins

I just got off the line with the reservation phone # at the Army Travel Camp att JBLM. I made reservations for a cabin for 2 nights. Only $60/ night. They have tent sites, and trlr sites. Also very reasonable.
If you are active, Reserves, 100% Disabled Vet, or have a DoD card you to can rent.
 
Anyone Have further needs for The Wounded Veterrans Fishing Program? Other than map and start time?
I have a question. How many boats carry a radio? And what type? It would be nice to be able to communicate. I carry a vhf.
Chris
 
Thanks for the Cabin info, It looks like I'll be staying in town Fri. & Sat. nights. Any ideas on a good place to stay not to far from the Lake? Money is an object! laugh hyst
Is anyone else planning on staying for the weekend?

TNF,
I'll be launching at Tillicum. Will I still need to give you my info? As I've moored up at Russell without any problems. Just wanted to make sure, since we will be meeting up with everyone on that side of the lake?

We also have a VHF radio.

All we need now is a start time and a map.

Lets get it on!

I will be staying one of the nights I think........ Depending on start time on Saturday I may stay over somewhere on Friday night. If I decide to make the drive Saturday morning I'm thinking I may want to kick up my heels Saturday night and not do the long haul home.

Let me know if you come up with somewhere decent to stay. Right now my options are friends or family in Bellevue which puts me an hour North in the wrong direction.

Hey all,

I'll be there. This is my first post, but I've been working with Dan Gabriel and will be taking out my first wounded warrior next week, April 5th.

I know you might not need the boat, but I will be there and available if you do. I generally fish for perch at American (ask the Kid about that, I have a method), but will be trying to boat some of those rascally kokanee with the veterans. Pretty much have all the gear, just not the experience fishing kokanee. Maybe Toni (Wannafish) can sell me some of her killer lures to help me boat some.

Anyway, let me know if I can help out.
