Hey there everyone.......
First & foremost I would like to thank the folks at SARL for all their hard work and effort, management and staff always go out of their way to make sure TEAM 57 has everything we need each and every time we hold an event at their facility!
I'll add more to this later... but, no rain and a great backdrop of snow, made the weather conditions perfect for a day of fishing at SARL!

Friday's turnout was as expected and TEAM 57 members were allowed early access to the lake!
Everyone staked out their spot at Chris's Pond, which by the way was roped off and available ONLY to TEAM 57 members!
The morning bite was a bit slow... although a few lightning trout did come to the net in the early hours.....
While the bite was not off the hook in the early hours, it was off and on steady and some TEAM 57 members were rewarded with some nice fish!

The stockers started to give way to slightly larger fish.........

Everyone hung in there.... and since the bite was a bit slower than expected, I made a call.
After a brief conversation and a bit of deal making.....SARL went above and beyond and delivered ANOTHER load of fish to the event right in front of all our anxious members! Lightnings & Tailwalkers!

The bite picked up....... and more than likely is the reason some of the members were late arriving to the pot luck! LOL!
