Expect changes soon to your club grounds and surrounding streams. The Brook Trout stream WFSC invested in a few years ago is is working great.Some improvements are needed on it. Thank goodness,members of WFSC who own it ,are on the same page. Because of WFSC/DNR co-op Trout program, many 15-16 inch Brook Trout have been caught recently in West Fork. WFSC still supports 2500 Trout with the help of Living Waters Bible Camp…great group of folks! Bob and June Widner have expressed a desire to retire from their officers position. We need to think about who should be officers before the April meeting/elections. Please consider a position in the club. WFSC should change some bylaws at April meeting. Perhaps voting by proxy, standard membership-voting membership. We will need a pay station with signage. WFSC needs its own phone,computer and new email address. WFSC needs a more efficient way of contacting all the membership who want to be kept informed.
