The Exeland Rod & Club held another very successful “Wildlife Benefit Banquet” at theCouderay Riverside Golf Course on Saturday, March 19th.
In April the Club will be holding their annual “Fishing Expos” for grade school kidsfrom Exeland, Bruce, Birchwood, Winter, LCO and OLS. Club President DarylKinnear said, “This year we’ve upgraded the fishing poles we’re giving away to kid’son that day. We have nearly a hundred kids that will be receiving them from five areaschools. It’s always a great day and the kids really enjoy it.”
The Club held their annual “Fishing Contest” for club members on Saturday, Feb. 19th.A four inch perch won the contest! Nobody remembers who caught it? Anyhow, the 20fishermen who showed up for the contest all blamed event coordinator Denny Koprasfor the poor showing. One club member who asked not to be identified said, “It wastwenty below with the wind chill. Why would a guy schedule a fishing contest on a dayso cold?”
Being crowned “Rabbit Champions” at the annual rabbit hunting contest held in Januaryfor the 5th year in a row was the team of Rod Brown, Denny Kopras, John Gordon,Jim Gerber and Al Gerber. Rod said afterward, “I don’t want to brag but obviouslywe’re better than everyone else.”

At the time the news for thispublication was being reported nobody
in the area had reported seeing aRobin. Initial rumors are that they’reextinct. There are reports that largegroups of people from Pittsburgh wentto Alabama where the robins werewintering and poisoned the Wisconsinstate bird. Apparently by disgruntledPennsylvania fans who were mad thatthe Packers beat the Steelers in theSuper Bowl.
Dick Halberg reported seeing the firsttwo robins of the year on March 17thso perhaps the Steelers story is just arumor… any way it is a sure sign ofspring arriving,
