The Family Fish Fair is coming up. We'll have the same type of set up again this year.

http://www.greatriverroad.com/Cities/Grafton/fishFair.htm

Three stock tanks with mechanical fish and the range with the 3d foam fish.

This event is on Saturday, June 6th from 8am to 4pm. We can use as many volunteers as we can get.

(you can get points for the Bowfisher of the Year by volunteering too)

Let me know if you can help.

(several of us volunteers go bowfishing and have a fish fry after 4pm)

what that shoot part of the event or was that something you went and did after?

After the Fishing Fair closes at 4pm, a small group of us volunteers go out and shot fish for fun. The water was too high and fast to take boats out last year so we shot from shore.

gotcha, that looked like a pretty good place. looks elevated and everything.

It is a good place. Depends on the water level on how good though. I know a few other real nice spots around there as well.

Same area where we shot all them bigheads and silvers this year. If the river isnt bad we will for sure have the boat there and hopefully get into some nice fishies.

Who else??? What's the old saying? ..."You'll be glad you did."
