Perch Fishing on Leech Lake
Where: Leech Lake
When: Saturday, March 9
Time: 10am - 3pm

As of right now the Perch Outing is still a go. Leech Lake has a ton of snow on it and traveling can be difficult. Tourney Director Brett Stark will be checking things out to see where on the lake we'll be fishing. If you are planning on joining us for some jumbo perch fishing please contact Brett for more info on location to meet.

Notes and Tidbits
Banquet a Success

Once again our Banquet was a success! Over 250 people joined us for food, fun and a ton of prizes. We have a couple outstanding bills to pay within the next couple weeks but so far it looks like the BLC raised about $14,000. It's great news as we have a ton of things planned for 2013 including a revised BLC Youth Day and a couple muskie research projects. A huge Thank You goes out to everyone that attended and all of the sponsors that showed their support to the Chapter at it's agenda. It's very much appreciated and we are looking forward to next year!

Several resorts are offering great deals for 3 day or week stays. Visit www.gilhamm.com for more info. The hosting Chapter, Chicagoland, is going to be putting a fantastic event!
