We will be having our annual Club Outing at Leech Lake again this year. There are a few nice campsites right on the lake and other campsites down the highway east of the lake. A lot of us will be staying at the White Pass Village Inn, www.staywhitepass.com or 509-672-3131, where they have ski condos (read bunkhouse) available that sleep from 2 to 6 people. The Inn is right next to the lake, and they let us use their facilities for our happy hour, barbecue, and campfire.

Happy hour will be around 5:00 on Saturday, and we’ll get the steaks going around 6:00. The club will provide steaks for those who sign up in advance, along with beverages. Please bring appetizers, side dishes, and desserts to share.

Fishing is usually done with dry or intermediate fly lines using damsels, mays, and a variety of nymphs. Rarely more than a foot deep! Average rainbow in the lake is LARGE, and lots of Brookies from dinky to stout! A boat or float tube is a must!

Members, if you can take another member in your boat to fish at the Leech Lake outing, please acknowledge this in the “I will Assist With” sign-up, so that we can organize members to fish with you.
