Kingfisher business

The Kingfishers

The Kingfishers are a co-ed group of members who like to fish, and have talent from novice to expert. They meet in the Senior Center at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month to share information about fishing and for skill development and fun. There are a variety of club activities such as day and overnight trips to local and distant fishing areas. The group maintains a stocked pond in the county, takes day trips for trout, bass, crappie and shad fishing. Also, they go on overnight Chesapeake Bay outings for stripers.

On November 7, 2007, several members of the Kingfishers Fishing Group traveled to Graves Mt. Lodge for a morning of trout fishing in the Lodge's pond. Several fishers were delighted to catch trout which are sure to be a tasty meal for a future dinner! After a morning of fishing, the group enjoyed lunch at the Lodge followed by a brief business meeting.

We cordially invite Senior Center members to attend meetings to learn what we are about.

The Kingfishers support Kids Day at Mint Springs Park on the first Saturday in May and assist in other teaching activities for children. The club maintains a locker we use to store fishing equipment for use by Senior Center members. In addition to equipment that can be borrowed, a library of books and folders on specific species of fish are maintained for members’ use. The locker is in the Center’s basement and the key is available at the front desk.
