Cub Shahwandahgooze Reflections<\/strong><\/p>\n

In November 2003, Bob Mingie spent 1 \u00bd days in Montreal going through the Club Shahwandahgooze files. There are a number of things, that as part of our Club History, that\u00a0we want to share with you.<\/p>\n

1) The first is that while individual members come and go, and there have been quite a few, there appears to have always been a hard core of longer term members. In particular, the Club executive appears to have been relatively stable. Our records are not complete but\u00a0our study of them suggests the following:<\/p>\n

2) The second thing is that membership has typically been in the 20-30 range although it did get up to 55+ in the 80\u2019s. Getting new members has always been a challenge and we even found an ad that was apparently run at one point to try and attract 5 additional members. They had a Membership Committee for quite a number of years and perhaps this is something that we should adopt.<\/p>\n

3)There has been a tradition of electing long serving members of note to the position of Honorary Life Members when they were no loner able to make regular use of the Club. This status conferred all the privileges of membership without any of the obligations.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0 Many of today\u2019s trails\/roads were not there in the early years , even as late as the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s. Clear Lake seems to have been a primary route to Foley Lake , Trout Lake and Bills Lake versus the roads we use to reach these locations today.<\/p>\n

5) Another piece of information that became very evident is that our Guardians and Cooks have been much more than just employee\u2019s, they are partners in operation of the Club and are essential to the success of the Club.<\/p>\n

There has been no \u2018standard model\u2019, each has been unique, bringing different strengths (and weaknesses) to the Club. In the early years and even into the 50\u2019s the norm seems to have been to have a Guardian and to hire a cook on a trip by trip basis. Starting in the 60\u2019s this switched and a permanent cook, typically the Guardians wife, was retained to do the cooking.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0 There were also notes about the focus on Pike fishing in Club Lake with the intent of improving the Lake Trout fishing. This was in an era when the was no limit on Pike so you could catch them by the hundreds if you chose to do so \u2013 and apparently they did.<\/p>\n

We think we should consider a similar focus and make it a tradition for each fisher-person who visits the Club to take out their limit of 6 Pike (assuming they are there when the Pike season is open). You\u2019ll get good fishing action and help the trout at the same time; as well; properly filleted Pike are an excellent eating fish.<\/p>\n

7) In terms of the longevity of the current members, the incomplete records make it hard to be too precise — but the data I (with the help of Jon Guillon) found suggests the following:<\/p>\n

If you notice an error then please let us know so that it can be corrected.<\/p>\n

We will keep working our way through the records and trying to extract interesting info so that we can all have a better understanding of the Club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
