BOW Salmon Weekend

[Yooperdad]

The Michigan DNR has a program called BOW, Be an Outdoor Woman, and for several years has hosted a BOW Salmon weekend at Fairport. I have participated in all of them so far, and shared the outing with Jeff Jette, "Get Bent" this year. Previous boat captains have also included Jason Peterson, "Dreamer" and Mike and Kim Herman "Micah Pa Tea".

This years event fell on a crap weekend that limited time on the water, but we still had a good time. I made a You Tube video to capture the weekend and if so inclined, you can see it here.

Participants came from as far as Lansing, MI and LaCrosse, WI ( Dorothy is both a WW2 and Korean War vet ). The event is already scheduled for Fairport again next year, August 12-13-14. If you know of any interested ladies, they can contact Sharon Pitz at the Marquette DNR office to get on her list (906-226-1321)or [email protected] Sharon has been the primary organizer of all BOW events in the UP for several years, and earlier this year received an award from MUCC that recognized her contributions. Sharon has been assisted in many of these local events by Cathy Pederson, also of Marquette and in some of the photos.
