Bad Bob’s Store reports that the fishing has been really good of late. Nice yellow catfish have been brought by the store. It is reported that they are baiting trot-lines with goldfish and carp. If fishing with rod and reel use night crawlers, stink bait or cut bait. To see the actual pictures of some of the catches go to Bad Bob’s web site. Seeing is believing-no fish story this time.

Jimmy Light was in last week and he reported some nice catches of catfish on his trot-line and rod and reel.

Every weekend there has been a host of visitors in all the fishing camps and the state park, which is a good indication that the fish are really biting.

It was a very tired couple who returned home to Bend late Sunday afternoon. They reported that they drove in a heavy rain storm on the way home. It would have been nice if they had brought some of it home with them, as rain is needed badly around the Bend.

Jerry Reavis reported that he has been getting better each day and the therapy has been helping him also.

Lola Morris was in to see the doctor this past week and she received a good report, but the doctor wanted her to wear a monitor for 24 hours to be sure of what her heart is doing.

Keep Lillie Belle Marley on your prayer list as well as everyone else who has been having health problems in and around the Bend.
