WHAT'S  NEW  AT  THE  LAKE

Hall of Fame Guide to be Featured Speaker at the Sportsmen's Club 2010 Annual Meeting

Mark your calendars! You'll want to attend the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Sportsmen’s Club of Lake Vermilion on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at Fortune Bay Resort's second floor ballroom. The meeting kicks off with a 5:00 p.m. social hour, followed by a 6:00 p.m. buffet. The featured speaker will be fishing guide and media personality, Tom Neustrom.

Tom Neustrom has spent 32 years as a professional fishing guide and promoter of the fishing industry. Tom has been recognized by In-Fisherman, North American Fishing Club, Fishing Facts Magazine and Minnesota Sportsman as one of the top walleye fishing guides in the country.

Tom writes constantly for numerous publications and enjoys sharing his knowledge and expertise in the sport of fishing with thousands of readers. Since 1992 Tom has hosted "Guides Corner" heard on KMFY-FM radio from Grand Rapids, Minnesota. It is a forum that allows Tom to reach thousands of anglers with current fishing reports and strategies to catch the “big ones.”

In February 2009, Tom was inducted as a "Legendary Guide" into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisconsin. Tom has also been appointed to the Minnesota DNR Fishing Roundtable, Red Lake Advisory Council and the State Walleye Advisory Committee.

The lake association's annual meeting is a time for members and their guests to talk about club activities and share ideas with the Sportsmen's Club board. After dinner, a brief business meeting will include reports from club officers, along with election of board members. And we must not forget the ever-popular door prize drawing.

The cost is $16 for adults and $8 for children 12 or younger and includes a drawing ticket. Additional drawing tickets will be available for purchase.
