Trout pond opens for reel

The Rands Family was recognized for the land donation. Fran Rands, Jeff Doyle, and Roberta Rands were at the opening

The Legacy Trout Pond officially opened to the public on Aug. 7. A small gathering at the pond enjoyed a free hot dog and drinks.

The first fishermen to arrive at the pond were Ryhder Schmit and Riley Allan.

Anyone wishing to try their luck at catch- ing a trout is more than welcome. No license is required. All we ask is to respect the resource and do your part to keep it clean. Other than that, enjoy! Happy fishing and good luck to all.

Riley Allan (pictured with his dad Derek Allan) landed the first fish of the day.

The Arm River Wildlife Federation would like to thank the following: The Rands Family, Logan Tennant, Kevin Eddie, The Manz Family, Gerrid Gust, Murray Hodgins, Jim Siroski, Wayne Obrigewitsch, Steve Low, Mike Heinrich, Jason Boyd, Rob Allan, Rick Millman and anyone that has purchased trees and anyone else we forgot. Thank you all.

Oliver Kostyk, with his grandpa Wayne Obrigewitsch, caught the second fish.
