All present, past, and future ELOSTA members

All current, prior and to those looking to become members of ELOSTA;
Please mark your calendars for August 6th to attend the annual picnic / derby at the Mexico VFW. This is a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends surrounded by fellow outdoorsmen who love the fishery we have. The picnic starts at 12 but the chicken dinners will start to be served at 2pm. There are two options for the picnic - chicken or hamburgers/ hotdogs. $22 for chicken dinner $17 for burgers and dogs plus salads, drinks, etc... Kids 12 and under without chicken are $8 but if they want chicken the price is the same as an adult at $22.
The derby is $15 per angler, everyone on the boat must be entered, everyone entered must be a member or get a membership at the picnic, and everyone entered must attend the picnic and purchase a meal. Weigh in closes at 1:30pm sharp. Minimum weights for each category of trout and salmon will be in the newsletter. It has been 5 lbs for trout and 20lbs for salmon in the past. If a small craft warning is posted the derby is off, but everything else is still on.
This is meant to be a fun friend / family derby.
This is the organization's main fundraiser for the year. There will also be raffles and t-shirts to purchase.
Please call Jerry Loughnot at 315-699-0112. Be sure to give him your name(s), meal choices, and whether or not anyone is fishing the derby and if anyone will be signing up for a membership at the picnic.
Thank you in advance and great fishing. See you soon.

A clarification for the derby. The newsletter had the minimum lake trout incorrect. Lake trout must be a minimum of 5lbs to weigh in. The same as the other trout species. There is no minimum length requirement. That was from when the slot limit kept Lakers out of the 25-30" length from being kept.
Looking forward to seeing old and new faces at this year's picnic and derby.

Thank you to all of the members who were able/ chose to spend the afternoon together. It was nice seeing many old faces / friends and some new members as well. Congratulations to all of you who entered fish, placed, and who won the raffles. Good luck on the water.
