Scyler went to the Get Hooked on Fishing Not Drugs at Karcher Mall in Caldwell on February 1 & 2, they had about 500 kids on Saturday & about 300 kids on Sunday.  Scyler would like to thank Lance, Kerry, Lou & Dale for coming and helping out.  It was nice to see a few members participate.

Darrin Brown came in and talked about boat safety.  The most common violations are:  not having a fire extinguisher, sound producing devices, registering you boat, load capacity and safety  lights.  If you didn't know, youth life jacket requirements are children 14 years of age and younger, on board boats19 feet or less, must wear an approved life jacket when the boat is underway.  And when passing, you use 1 blow of the horn for the  left side and 2 blows for the right side.

Jordan Davis from Ketchum, Kevin Lincoln & Garth Nelson both from Hailey and Bradley Bremers from Buhl.
