Volunteer "fishing coaches" needed in Chico June 1

Volunteer fishing coaches are needed in Chico on June 1, for the big "Hooked on Fishing" kids event.
Depending on weather, we may have as many as 4,000 kids show up to catch their first fish, which totally overwhelms the ability of the Chico Bass Club and Chico Flyfishers to help each child.
We don't need your money, your boat, or your expensive tackle; just YOU with a pair of pliers to help get the hooks out of catfish, and a smile for the kids.
The event runs 7 AM to 1 PM, you can get there early, or just be there about 9:30 AM, because the "first shift" starts to get pretty tired out, and the masses of kids just keep coming!

I know the turnout to help with the rigging and tackle rehab on Thursday night [May 30] will be good anyway, but just to sweeten the pot, Chico's "Hooked on Fishing" will have a free raffle for an Abu-Garcia Revo RVO3SX-HS for the volunteers who show up to do the work.

Just a bump and a reminder that Chico locals should come to the "rigging party" tomorrow night [Thursday] at the Rod and Gun Club from 5 to 9 PM, as we re-rig and rehab the 600 loaner rods.
