Karlette Schoen receives Pete Froland Award for 2018
President Gard Strother presenting Karlette with the 2018 Pete Froland Award
Karlette has tirelessly given the Club her time and energy for almost 10 years. She was elected to the
board in 2010 and president in 2012. Recently she has done a great job as club treasurer, which she
jumped into without even being on the board. She was instrumental in the development of the new Word-
Press website. The club was very lucky to have someone with her computer technical expertise to re-
solve many new and confusing issues. She has also volunteered to head up a number of Kid's Fishing
days as well as other club outings. She is a pretty good fisherwoman, and we are very fortunate indeed
to have her as a Club member and Friend. Plus, let’s not fail to note that she spends more than anyone
else at the Club auction every February! Thank you Karlette.

Color and Water Depth
View From Below
Does Lure Color Matter Underwater?
Most keen anglers have a favorite lure or fly color, and swear that their choice will
out-perform all other offerings. But just how important is color when it comes to
lure and fly selection? Well, according to science, not very important at all!
Water progressively absorbs or blocks light of different wavelengths, meaning
that colors effectively “vanish” one after another as “white” sunlight travels
through the water column. The overall intensity or brightness of visible light also
diminishes rapidly underwater.
Jim Pankratz sent me a link to this website page by Steve Starling. It does a great
job explaining the relationship between color and depth.
