The Kingfishers
The Kingfishers are a co-ed group of members who like to fish, and
have talent from novice to expert. They meet in the Senior Center at 10
a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month to share information about
fishing and for skill development and fun.
Want to go shad or trout fishing? Come to the Kingfishers meeting and learn all about catching trout and shad this spring. The Kingfishers are planning a trout fishing trip (followed by an excellent lunch) at Graves Mt. Lodge in mid-March, and a shad fishing trip in April. If you want to partake of these great fishing opportunities, come to our March 4th meeting. The Kingfishers will be volunteering the 2nd Wednesday of March, June, September, and December at the Blue Ridge Food Bank. For additional information, call Lee Bensey (974-9739) or Bill Marley (589-3949).
There are a variety of club activities such as day and overnight trips to local and distant fishing areas. The group maintains a stocked pond in the county, takes day trips for trout, bass, crappie and shad fishing. Also, they go on overnight Chesapeake Bay outings for stripers.
We cordially invite Senior Center members to attend meetings to learn what we are about.
The Kingfishers support Kids Day at Mint Springs Park on the first
Saturday in May and assist in other teaching activities for children. The
club maintains a locker we use to store fishing equipment for use by
Senior Center members. In addition to equipment that can be borrowed, a
library of books and folders on specific species of fish are maintained
for members’ use. The locker is in the Center’s basement and the key is
available at the front desk.
