Fish and Game Club Update

by Secretary Helen Dalin

Chase and District Fish and Game continues to be busy planning activities for 2023 and we have exciting news! Our club has been asked to host the Traditional Bowhunters of BC (TBBC) Provincial Championships on the long weekend in May the 19th, 20th, 21st. The Traditional Bowhunters of British Columbia is a province wide organization made up of individuals dedicated to the promotion of traditional archery and bowhunting through the teachings of proper ethics and sound wildlife management. The TBBC”s strength stems from conservation minded people who band together to form a strong unified voice in matters vital to traditional bowhunting, education and legislation.

We will be expecting around 100 shooters and their families to come to Chase and surrounding areas for the long weekend. This will be a great tourist bonus. The shooters will have the following plan. They will be attending our Chase Fish and Game 3D shoot on May 13th, 14th, their Provincials on the May long weekend, and then continue on to Salmon Arm the following weekend for Salmon Arm’s 3D shoot. Hotels, campsites, and grocery stores will be busy! More information about these shoots will follow closer to the dates. Spectators are welcome to come out and watch.

are and working on some grant funding projects that we would like to complete this year. Our biggest goal is to get a new, dock installed at Harper Lake, so that it can be used for fly fishers, kayakers, boat launching, bird watching, and any other things campers and park users would like. If we can get enough funding we would like to expand this type of project to other lakes in the area. This is our first attempt at trying for grant funding for a large community project so we are hopeful it will be successful. We are also hoping to upgrade our clubhouse since it has been a long time since it was refurbished with modern equipment. This will help make our events even more successful.

The CDFGC is a busy club. Besides our projects we have Trap and Skeet shooting events the second Sunday of the month and Pistol Practice on the 3rd Saturday of the month at our range at 724 Turtle Valley Road. These events are free for members. Guests are welcome for a $5 charge, so if you want to learn how to do one of these activities you should come on out. You may find out you like the club and the people who are in it and decide to join. We are always welcoming new members. Our membership has been steadily increasing the last few years which is such a positive sign. We meet the 3rd Monday of the month at Creekside senior center at 7 pm.
