Cubs Goin' Fishing

May 28, 2007

Attention all Wolf Cubs and White Tails!

We figured you’d be all played out after the great weather and Rainmaker Rodeo, so we’re taking a week off – and wrapping it with some casual fishing.

Next Sunday afternoon, June 3rd, you’re all invited to go fishing at the Morinville trout pond (just west of Morinville, you can see it from the highway). The pond was recently stocked and we’ll probably see some serious action (although no guarantees that there will be anything worth keeping).

We will meet at 1:00 pm and linger until about 2:30 pm – or longer for the devout!

As this is part of our summer “keeping in touch” program, we can not guarantee sufficient trained leadership for the afternoon. As such, parents will be required to stay and supervise their children through-out (it’s a great time to be together).

Friends and siblings are invited, under the same conditions. Please spread the word to others (I’m not particularly sure of this distribution list!)

There will be a sign-in sheet – look for Akela/Gerhard.

Fishing Licences

The legalities are such that the kids are allowed to fish and keep up to five fish without any restrictions, provided they are holding the rods. Adults will require a fresh water fishing license if they hold the rod.

After a little research ... anyone 17 - 64 years of age needs to purchase a Wildlife Indentification Number ($8, good for five years) and a Sportfishing Licence ($22.50). See Alberta Sportfishing Licence and Fees for more details.

Sportfishing Licences and WINs can be purchased from:

• Canadian Tire - 40 Bellrosse Drive
• St. Albert Huskey - 192 St. Albert Trail
• Al-Razzaq Food and Gas Store - 3-25415 Hwy 37
• Walmart - 700 St. Albert Road

Fishing Badge

Note: The Fishing badge is located on page 79 of last year’s Cub Book. It is best for the youths to review it’s requirements prior to the day. White Tails (coming from Beavers) are encouraged to qualify for the badge(s) as well, however they won’t be awarded until after the White Tail has been invested into the pack.

AS ALWAYS Cubs are reminded to review their Cub Book and bring it along should they have additional badge qualifications to have signed-off and/or badges to be awarded.
