.FAMILY FISHING DAY IS BACK ON SUNDAY JUNE 9th, 2024 — NO LICENSE REQUIRED!
by Doug Lapchis
After the fishing classes that were held on the 11th of May our 12-year-old instructor, Jude started fishing off of the dock at beach 1. It wasn’t too long before he caught the largest rainbow trout that I have ever seen caught at Lake Marcel. I estimate that it weighed about 3 lbs. It was released so Lake Marcel members need to get the Family Fishing Event on their calendar. You were lucky if you had Jude and Silas as your instructors. They know how to fish! We will also be planting 400 good sized fish within the net enclosure
We ask members to indicate their intention to participate and how many will be in their party. A signup form is available on the Lake Marcel website. If you have any questions, you can call or text Doug Lapchis at 425 532-6159.
This event can’t happen without volunteers. We have enough volunteers to assure that great fishing will take place. We need a group of volunteers to help put together refreshments. They can be as simple or elaborate as the group comes up with as long as we stay within our budget.
