The Lanark & District Fish & Game Conservation Club held our annual awards dinner on Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Lanark Trap Club.
We thank the members and their spouses for cooking up the most delicious dinner, like always. Thanks to Ron and Margaret Dickinson for cooking a large pork ham for those people who would rather have domestic than wild.
There were a number of entries for the largest fish and game harvested in the year 2013.
The Lanark and District Fish & Game Conservation Club celebrated several conservation projects completed in 2013, including: Patterson Lake walleye spawning bed improvement, partnered with Lanark County Stewardship Council, Cavanagh Construction and Patterson Lake Association.
Clyde River walleye spawning bed improvement, partnered with Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Cavanagh Construction and the Lanark County Stewardship Council.
Flower Lake boat launch, partnered by Flower Lake cottage owners and members of the community along with the Municipality of Lanark Highlands.
The club also thanks the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Kemptville office and Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority for their assistance to complete these habitat improvement projects.
The Lanark Fish & Game Club would like to thank the Hopetown General Store for selling Nevada tickets; money from the sales are used for fish and wildlife habitat improvement projects. We also would like to thank the Lanark Trap Club for the use of their building to have our meetings and dinner.
We would also like to thank John and Sherri Lahaise of Mal’s Camping for letting us host our annual pig roast in August at their campground.
The 2014 executive are: president Wendell Crosbie; secretary Ron Dickinson; treasurer and membership chairman Ernie McDougall; and entertainment co-ordinator Gordy Morris. The Lanark & District Fish & Game Conservation Club is affiliated with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters who also help to finance fish and wildlife projects.
In 2014, the club is hoping to help improve the walleye spawning beds at both ends of Dalhousie Lake. Partners will be the Lanark County Stewardship Council, Dalhousie Lake Cottage Association, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Zone F. Our club also supports CrimeStoppers. If you witness a fish and wildlife crime, such as someone fishing with more than two lines in winter, set lines, fish taken outside their size limit, the taking of wild turkey, white tailed deer, bear and moose outside the legal times of the harvest season, please report these crimes. The future for our fish and wildlife depend on you and me for our children and grandchildren to enjoy as we have.
