Pelican Rapids, Minnesota
August 25 - September 1, 2012
This year the weather was great at Lake Lida, probably the best since the excursion started. No rain, mild temps and little wind. Everyone caught fish, mostly in the 2-3 pound range. Lee Koepping emerged with the big fish prize landing a 5.5 lb. Northern.
This year's attendees were Gary Clark, Jim Lee, Lee Koepping, Jim Mendenhall, Larry Self, Ron Sidener and Jeff Thomas.
