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.
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.
On November 7, 2007, several members of the Kingfishers Fishing Group traveled to Graves Mt. Lodge for a morning of trout fishing in the Lodge's pond. Several fishers were delighted to catch trout which are sure to be a tasty meal for a future dinner! After a morning of fishing, the group enjoyed lunch at the Lodge followed by a brief business meeting.
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.
