SHEEP FEEDING PROGRAM
NELSON DISTRICT ROD & GUN CLUB SHEEP FEEDING PROGRAM
IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE
ATTENDING THE FEEDING SITE WITH FOOD FOR THE SHEEP.
PLEASE, DO NOT FEED THESE ANIMALS.
THIS IS A PROVINCIAL PROGRAM THAT HAS AUTHORIZED CERTAIN VOLUNTEERS
OF THE NDRGC AND THE WEST KOOTENAY BIG GAME ASSOCIATION AS THE
ONLY ONES PERMITTED TO FEED THESE ANIMALS AND ONLY AT THIS LOCATION.
THE FEED THAT IS PROVIDED BY THE CLUBS IS SHEEP SPECIFIC AS PRESCRIBED
BY A PROVINCE OF BC WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST. ANY DOMESTIC FEED CAN BE
HARMFUL AND POTENTIONALLY LETHAL FOR THE SHEEP.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

New Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Group
New Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Group
Starting in March 2023, I would like to start a Fly Fishing Group within the Nelson District Rod and Gun
Club.
The Vision of this group is to promote fly fishing as a sporting and conservation activity that can be
enjoyed by all through fish conservation, member participation, and education.
Depending on Club interest, I could potentially organize the following events:
- Club – Fly Tying Nights. Club members can attend a bi-weekly social evening with similarly
talented members and bring their personal fly-tying equipment /supplies. Create your own fly or
work on a specific fly pattern. Basic support can be provided between members. - Club – Specialized Fly Tying Nights. With enough interest, specialized fly tying nights could be
organized where a club member/guest can lead a step-by-step fly pattern. Potentially, future
fundraising may be able to provide communal tying materials and equipment. - Guest Speakers – Potential guest speakers could be arranged to join us such as Fish Biologists,
local expert fly tyers, fishing guides, etc. - Trip Planning – Discussion/Organization of fishing trips including our favorite stillwaters or local
rivers.
Before the Club can begin organizing, I am canvassing Club members to see what level of interest there
is in both attending and co-organizing the club or events. There is a potential night available at the club
and I will keep everyone informed as soon as I determine the level of interest. Deadline for feedback is
end of February.
If you are a fly fisher/tyer or know anyone in the club who would be interested, please contact Drew at:
flygroupnelson@gmail.com or 250-505-6630.
Hope to see you soon! Tight Lines.

MARIO ARCOVIO December 18, 1961 – December 22, 2022
Our condolences to Mario’s family and friends.
We got to know Mario when the Italian Society did the kitchen reno’s and additional storage at the Rod & Gun Club hall.
Mario was a key player in every stage of the project that the Italian Society and Nelson community will enjoy for generations to come.
