At Easter, Campers and recreational fishermen were double parked along the banks of the Wakool and Edward River at Kyalite.
However thanks to the generosity of Kyalite Pistachios the HAPPY HOOKERS found a secluded  “just for us’  piece of  Wakool river paradise for their Saturday Easter Comp.
The bush track in was an adventure, Tom Evans got lost and missed the comp, the less adventurous took their boats from Kyalite.
Lots of fish and usual story, the kids outfished all the dads and mums.
The overall winner was Blake Reynolds, winning a beaut combo rod donated by the Kyalite Pub.
Some of the other results.
Heaviest Senior Gent             Noel Featherby.      Runner-up   Ivan Tait.
Heaviest Senior Lady             Renee’ Featherby    Runner up   Julie Leed.
Jacko donated two fishing rods to promote and encourage kids involvement and apprecitation of the sport. These were won by Darcy Joynson and Zarly Featherby.  Darcy caught a fish with his straight after the comp. 
Photographer for the day Amber won a ewe-beaut Picnic rug.
Nick Kelly got the NAFA award. WShat else do you give a bloke who trawls a meter of the bank across everyone’s line!!!!

Lots of happy Junior fishermen.
 
 
 
Trophy committee Renee’ and Shorty had a tough job working out just who won what.

The next comp for the Happy Hookers?   Watch this space but will have one in the  middle of the year somewhere along the river and if enough interested Port Fairy can happen.
Jacko did a bit of homework for Ken. Discusion with Charter operators says we should try for the Weekend of August 22nd 23rd. Will be a three day contract. Friday to travel, Saturday for the fish and Sunday home.
