Fishing Magician Report - May 25th

Walleye fishing throughout the region has really taken off in past couple of weeks, and we'll know a lot more about how the fishing is at Banks Lake. The annual Big Walleye's Tournament occurred last weekend. When I get the results we will all know how the fishing is at Banks. If the weather cooperates, I expect the tournament to be one of the best in years. I plan to make my next walleye trip to Banks, so I am very interested to see how these tournament anglers do. I am really excited about my next fishing trip, which be something very different for me. Three of us anglers are about to experience the spring fishing for channel catfish on the Columbia south of Pasco. Local guide Don Huffman has been fishing for big cats down here for years, and I am finally going to make the trip, thanks to another fishing buddy, Bill Ballentine. He set the trip up and then couldn't go. We'll miss him. According to Huffman we should hit this fishery just about right. The big females are still around and he has already boated hundreds of pounds of them this season. I'll let you know how we do.

HASTINGS

Reader unhappy with congressman

In the height of the debate on healthcare reform I wrote an e-mail to our congressman, Doc Hastings, asking some questions regarding how he views the healthcare system as it is and how he thinks it should be. (He voted no on healthcare reform)

Why we need Angus Lee

Here is why we need Angus Lee as Prosecutor: Garth Dano knows how to make deals and to plea bargain but knows nothing about how to prosecute and very little about even going into the court room and conducting a trial. We can all clearly see how the fact that Angus refuses to make deals in cases involving sexual predators and other low-life has Dano and his fellow Defense attorneys, who are funding him, wanting Angus Lee out. They don't want prosecution they want plea deals. Don't let the Defense take over the Prosecutors Office and free the criminals!!

Correction: Books-Kimberly Jones story

NEW YORK (AP) — In a story June 25, 2020, about Kimberly Jones getting a book deal, The Associated Press erroneously reported the title of her video as “How We Can Win.” The correct title is “How Can We Win?”

Another year comes to an end

2018 was a busy and enlightening year. One of the facts of life continuing to appear as the years roll by is learning. Of course, the internet and videos help teach a person how to cook a flatiron steak, how to tie a certain fishing fly and how to reload a rifle cartridge.

Backyard and beyond

Many an outdoor education began in the backyard. How to build a fire, how to tie knots, how to properly use a knife, survival skills, how to erect a tent were all part of my backyard schooling.

THANK YOU: Reader, family grateful for help

Thank you does not even begin to cover how grateful we are to all who have supported us in some way during this time in our lives. The turn out at the spaghetti feed and auction was beyond what we could've ever imagined. Please know how incredibly thankful we are, and blessed, because of all of you! The generosity and support of this community is absolutely amazing, and we are thankful to be a part of it. A special thank you to our amazing friends, Amador and Lisa Castro and Sandy Hanson, who put the spaghetti feed and auction, the blood and bone marrow drive together in honor of Derek. I know there are many, many more who helped with these events, and please know how thankful we are to you as well. What a great community to live in!
