NIGHT FISHING OUTING PLANNED
The Lakes Committee has announced plans for another night fishing outing to take place
June 6, 2009. There will be hot dogs to grill and a bonfire to enjoy. Friends, fun, fishing
and food. Who could ask for more? Be sure to bring your chair, lantern and bug spray. The
timing of this outing is such that the bugs may not be out yet and therefore not a problem.
I’d bring some bug spray just in case, though.  Speaking of night fishing. There will be a
vote taken at this month’s meeting to determine the future of night fishing at the club.
That privilege was suspended after poaching incidents reduced our stocked fish. The
hope is that the mere presence of honest, rule abiding members will deter dishonest, rule
breaking members, and nonmembers alike, from poaching our fish. If you care about this
issue be sure to attend June’s meeting. And then come out June 6th to enjoy all Lake
County Fish and Game has to offer after dark!

SPORTING CLAYS SHOOT PLANNED
Connie and Don have planned a Sporting Clays Shoot for August 1, 2009.
Details are still being worked out regarding this shoot. Look here next month, or online at
www.lakecountyfishandgame.org, for more details. We’ll pass them along as they
become available.

SHOTGUN RAFFLE
Lake County Fish and Game will raffle a Benelli Supernova Pump Shotgun in 12 ga. at our
club’s family picnic September 26, 2009.  Features of this fine shotgun include: 3 1/2”
chamber (It will accept 2 3/4”, 3” and 3 1/2”shells) composite camo stock and choke tubes.
These tickets are available now and cost $1 each or 6 for $5. Come to any meeting or
event to purchase yours. Or contact Don Jones for an allotment of tickets to sell to family,
friends and coworkers.

LCF&G FAMILY PICNIC
Mark September 26, 2009 on your calendar. That is the date of this year’s Family Club
Picnic. There will be food to eat, drinks to drink, horseshoes to pitch, bean bags to toss,
kids’ casting contest to contest and fun and camaraderie for all.
You may bring a dish to share if you’d like. That’s not a requirement, just more or less a
tradition. Each year we are blessed with a veritable plethora of appetizing appetizers,
sumptuous salads and delicious desserts to enhance our picnic fare.
We’ll provide the meat, drinks, tableware (plates, forks, knives, spoons, napkins and
glasses) and fun. You provide you, maybe a chair, or maybe a fishing pole, or maybe both.
The hours are from noon ‘til 5 PM. The Lake County Fish and Game family picnic is open
to all members and their immediate family. Come out and enjoy the day with fellow
LCF&G members. Who knows? Maybe you’ll make some new friends or see some old
ones.

LCF&G PROPERTY RULES
FISHING IS A GREAT BENEFIT OF MEMBERSHIP IN LAKE COUNTY FISH AND GAME.
PLEASE HELP KEEP OUR LAKES HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE BY FOLLOWING THESE
RULES:
ALL FISH ARE CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY.

When fishing with live, dead or stink bait, use only single, barbless hooks or have the
barb flattened. Double or treble hooks are not allowed when fishing with bait.
The largest hook that may be used is a #4.

Fishing with live minnows is not allowed. However, 3-4” bluegills may be caught and
used as bait for bass or catfish

Handle bass, catfish, pike and wipers with care. If the hook has been swallowed and
cannot be reached, quickly cut the line as close to the hook as possible and release
the fish.

The use of the lakes and grounds is limited to members and their immediate family,
which includes children and grandchildren. Children under the age of 17 must be
accompanied by an adult member.

The lakes are closed to fishing from dusk to dawn.

Close and lock all doors and gates that you open.

There are no garbage cans. We do not have a groundskeeper, nor do we have garbage
service. All paper, plastic, cans, bait containers, etc. that you bring in must be taken out!
Field strip cigarette butts and put the filters in your pocket.
KEEP OUR GROUNDS LITTER FREE!

Restrooms are in the clubhouse; use them, not the grounds or lakes.

No hunting, trapping, swimming, wading or discharging of firearms.

No camping or open campfires. You may use the ring adjacent to the pavilion. Use your
own firewood. Ensure fires are out before leaving.

Do not cut, chop or saw wood from live or dead trees, bushes or brush.

    We have been having a problem with people sneaking onto the club property and
    stealing fish.  DNR will now be giving tickets to anyone on the property who is not a
    member and anyone taking fish from the property.  "Without consent" is the charge,
    it is a $153.00 ticket.  LCF&G is now on file with the local CO's, they know how to
    identify a member so be prepared to ID yourself as a member.  If you see someone
    who is keeping fish or see anyone who is not a member please call the DNR tip line.  
    800-TIP-IDNR ( 800-847-4367 )  You don't have to give your name but let them know.  
    They may not be able to come right out but sooner or later they will get them.  
    We paid for those fish and the theft has to stop.

    Emergency numbers will be posted near the front gate.

    Thanks for your help
Ticket donations are $1.00 each 6 for $5.00.  Tickets will be sold at the Crown Point Gun Shows,
Cabelas ( When the Club booth is there ) and at meetings.  You can contact ME for tickets if you would
like tickets to sell.  Tickets are not sold online.
