The lake has been restocked with some brown trout and we hope there are a few rainbows left in there from the fall.

We have a nice crowd coming so we can use a couple more volunteers....

I wish I could, but I have a commitment Saturday. Should be a great day for it.

Well, the fish did not cooperate. No one caught any trout!
But...we had a great lunch from Wegman's and a terrific raffle where everyone (participants and volunteers) won something. We had Engel tumblers (thanks to NoVA CCA), Mission BBQ $25 gift cards, Wegman's #25 Gift Cards, TFO rods (2 of them) and a bunch of other cool stuff.
Lots of happy faces...
As one lady said, we are guaranteed a good bite at lunch!
It's amazing how much our veterans appreciate these events. It never ceases to surprise me.

Glad everything went well....except the fishing.
