                        The longest fish per species score points, one point per inch

                        Registration fee: $10 per entrant

             Fish must be registered at Benson’s Hideaway by noon each day of the tournament. The total accumulation of points qualifies for prize money. The six anglers scoring the most points will be awarded prize money totaling $300.

Fall Dinner
On October 18 the LLFC had their annual fall dinner at the HonECor Golf Club in Kewaskum.  It was a nice fall evening and some came costumed for the Halloween season.  Don Enders, our new club president, awarded plaques for years of service to Charles Benson and John Koerble. 

Their were many nice raffle prizes won and  many decorative center pieces  given away.  It was a nice evening and way to end the summer season.

New Update on Bike Trail-June 8, 2008
Phase 1 of the Mauthe to Long Lake Bike Trail was completed last October.  This 5 mile segment runs from the Mauthe Lake Recreation Area to a parking lot just east of Dundee south of CTH F.  Later this summer, Phase 2 of the project will begin.   The Fond du Lac County Highway Department will construct the remaining 1.6 mile of trail which will connect the CTH F parking lot to the Long Lake Recreation Area.  This segment will be routed easterly on the Southside of CTH F.  Just before Division Road, the trail will cross CTH F and head north into the Long Lake Campground.  At this time, a completion date as not been determined; hopefully the construction will be completed for the fall season. 
 

A trail pass is not required to use this trail.
