The Annual SJRVFF Opening Day Outing may not be the official start of Spring, but it sure feels like it.
Nothing seems to let you know its time to start fishing like getting together with a bunch of guys and gals
and telling fish stories. Many of the SJRVFF members have been getting together on the Trout Season

Opening Day for decades. Many more have joined them over the years. Everyone is welcome. If you’re not
familiar with trout fishing, this is a great time and place to get started. There is always someone available to
offer assistance, answer questions and show you some great places to fish.

The SJRVFF Opening Day Outing will be at Bobbie Labar’s farm in Cassopolis, Michigan. Coffee and
donuts will be available starting at 8:00 am and lunch will be ready at noon. There is no fee for the outing
and drinks will be available followed by the Opening Day raffle at 1:00.

To get to the Labar farm, take either M-60 or M-62 to Cassopolis, MI. Then take Okeefe Rd north out of
town to Engle St. (approx. 3.5 miles). Turn left on Engle St. Labar’s farm is about 1/2 mile west of Okeefe
Rd. The address is 23683 Engle St. Cassopolis, MI.
