Matt Corsi from Idaho Fish and Game down to talk about the Lake Pend Orielle Fishery. The Pend Orielle fishery has been dramatically improving recently and Matt will be sharing his observations on the health of the fishery and where they’re seeing fishermen catch the fish.
Beneta Galland is a major player in the local fishing community and her pink boat is unmistakable on any of our waters, including Lake Roosevelt.
Brock Marrow is an organizer of the local pike fishing association.
Electronics seminar will cover a lot of sonar basics, digging into some of the nuts and bolts mechanics of how sonar works and how to get the most out of your electronics, presented by the Mark’s Marine Electronics experts and Pro Staff from Lowrance. Some of the newest and coolest in fishfinding technology including the new Structure Scan 3D will be shown.
