Take a vet fishing.

I was looking at another forum and they mentioned this event in late may. Wondering if any OFF members were helping out. It will be at henery hagg lake on 31of may. I'm a vet and I'm looking at helping outwith this event.

I haven't heard about it. You could try checking with Washington County Parks and see if they have any contact info. Kudos to you for looking to help out and thank you for your service.

I'll be taking some vets out in May for an event closer to where I live.

I would encourage anyone to get involved with taking our hero's out for the day if you can.

Best,

I am signed up to go. I have contact info. some where let me look for it. I cut hair at standdowns so I know one of the ladies putting this together so if you are interested let me know. Was at Hagg yesterday and saw a guy with a total HOG the biggest Small Mouth I've ever seen. He said he caught it on the South side almost directly across from A launch. He used a night crawler with no lead under the trees over hanging the water.
