2025 Angle Lake Shore Club (ALSC) Annual Fish Fest & Community BBQ

The 2025 Annual Fish Fest & Community BBQ was held on Sunday, May 4th and a good time was had by the over 124 attendees. Like last year the Fest was held at the Angle Lake Manor’s Beach Lot. It is the perfect location for our Fest. We look forward to a continuing collaboration! Thank you to the Queen, her Court and the entire Manor, for generously hosting us.

As with most years the food was the center attraction of our activity and Nick Nichols along with his team of Bruce Bryant, Nancy Erickson, Susan Knox, Joan Hassleman put out a first rate spread of salmon, burgers and huge dogs. Each year this team impresses with their organization and efficiency. A special shout out to John Lucas who helped Tani Rae collect kettles and extension cords to keep the coffee hot and provide ongoing hot water for the ever popular hot cocoa. Lina Yip jumped in and helped everywhere there was a need. We owe much gratitude to many people who helped clean up and return the beach lot to its prior state of pristine beauty. Many hands make light work and it was a lot of fun working together.

The Fishing Event was the center of attention for many participants. As a special treat this year Grant
Woolridge offered to teach his lucky fishing technique the day before the Fest. We didn’t have time to get the word out to many, but after his family’s performance this year, I am sure this would be a popular lesson should he offer it again. The Woolridge crew of 6 pulled in a record 21 fish!

A highlight of the day was little Adam (2 years old) catching his first fish and winning the Age 1 - 7 category with a catch of 7 1/2 inches. Andrew Carroll won the Age 8 - 16 age group and the Grand Prize for the days biggest catch at 16 1/2 inches. Then everyone’s champion was Hal Boynton (Age 92) winning the Age 60+ age group with a catch of 13 inches.

Here is a list of all out winners:
Age 1-7
- First Place: Adam Austin - 7 1/2 inches
Age 8-16
- First Place: Andrew Carroll - 16 1/2 inches - Second Place: Cooper Argo - 12 3/4 inches

Grand Prize Winner: Andrew Carroll

After lunch fishing awards were given out and then a spirited raffle of prizes commenced. The Anderson’s won the grand prize of a paddle-board at the exact moment Tony was saying to Brice, “We never win these things!” Ha! Never say Never!

Special Thank You to the team who organized the prizes, sold raffle tickets, went shopping and in general made it look like I actually knew what I (Jonathan) was doing! So thank you to Marge, Joan, Robyn and Rotem. I appreciate everything you do for me and the entire ALSC Community.
Have a wonderful summer. I am looking forward to seeing you around the lake!

Sincerely, Jonathan Standridge, President ALSC

Farewell and Thank You!

After 15 wonderful years as your community blog editor, it's time for me to bid adieu. This has been an incredibly rewarding journey, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have served this amazing community.

Looking back, I'm filled with joy remembering all the fun we've shared. From keeping our community informed through regular routine announcements and special bulletins; to the hilarious annual April Fools' posts that always seemed to bring a smile to everyone's face; to the series of Fireworks Barge Program posts that documented the exciting achievements from inception to completion; and of course the pride for many in our community to host the Junior Class Hydroplane and Outboard Motor Boat Races on Angle Lake  – these are memories I will cherish forever.

I encourage you to revisit our Club Photo Album to relive some of these fantastic moments together.

While I'm stepping down as blog editor, I'm confident that the spirit of our community will continue to thrive. To stay informed about local happenings, I highly recommend joining our WhatsApp Community Group. Contact Rotem Yossef for more information on how to download and subscribe to the Angle Lake Community Chat. 

Thank you all for your support and friendship over the years. It's been an honor to serve you.

Warmly,

Clyde “Fuzz” Hill

Former Angle Lake Shore Club Blog Editor
