contact your local VFW (look in the phone book). they will get the ball rolling for you. chances are they will want you to take the younger guys. anyway, they will probably also put you in touch with some support agencies that will addd you to a list of people willing to volunteer your time. anyway, yea… call the VFW there in UT to get this started.
i have a boat and im more than willing to help!heck even if we fish from shore or ice im sure our vet’s would love it.i would love to help enyone who has gave me the freedom to fish eny lake i chose at free will, the chance to go fishing and meet a knew freind.
Thanks to all who has answered Monday I will give the DAV a call and see, I think we can get some of the stores to help once we have a plan and date set…
I should have started this two months ago after I find out more I will post what I find…
Anyone who finds out any thing let us know…
How do you think of doing this at the Berry sounds???
Count me in!!! Let me know if there is anything I can do as far as “up at Hill Air Force Base” is concerned. Just woke up so I cant think that well, but I am sure some people will come up with some things to get the ball rolling.

Hi Cliff,
Count me and my boat in too! I think that Strawberry would be a good place to go, especially since it should really be turning on soon. Keep us posted. Fred K.
We need some one when we have a date to keep a list of people who has boats and how many they can fish out of it, but don’t over crowed some could be in wheel chairs…
Can BFT help with keeping a post up at the top when we need it???
Heckuvan idea! I’m in with my boat. Can take a couple with me & got gear they can use. My work schedule is crazy & I’ve only got two weekends in four where I’m off but I’d be glad to take a vacation day if the event falls while I’m working and you need me. Oh, I got a 4 dr. pickup so room isn’t an issue.
When somebody actually assumes responsibility, and a date and place is confirmed, we can make a “sticky thread” at the top of the page. Just be sure the first post lists all the details so that those interested do not have to look down through the whole thread to get the info.
I understand you not wantling to run the show. That can be a big pain. I applaud your idea, but somebody has to organize it or it will not happen. I suggest a committee of at least two or three members, who can divide up responsibilities.
I’m in! This is a great idea and I think it will take a lot of coordinating and planning to be successful. I would suggest a small (3 to 5 people) committee be formed to spearhead this effort. It might be a little late in the year to make it happen this fall, but I’m 100% sure we could have a great happening next spring. I would also suggest having it on the free fishing day so licensing would not be an issue. I would also like to volunteer to be one of the committee members IF we can agree to do it next spring. What do the rest of you think?
i wonder if my brother could do it. it wouldent be TO difficult. he is active durty as well and alot of these guys will be able to relate with him… just a suggestion is all.
You said what I was trying to 3 to 5 people and to do this right this fall is too soon, I want to be on the committee and dubob said he did as well we could use 3 more…
I will make a few calls to the DAV and others and find out some of what we may need to do but I think July or August time frame…
