2010 Leonard Lawver Memorial
Laurel Pond Kids Day
If you drove by the South Pond in Laurel on June 5th you would have seen happy faces, big smiles, proud parents and guardians and short kid fishermen . Montana Pikemasters held their annual Leonard Lawver Memorial Kids Fishing Day. Leonard and his wife Peggy have been long time members of Pikemasters and avid fishing companions who have won many tournaments. At Leonard’s unexpected death the club wanted to honor the many kind things he had done for others and his love of catching the big one. So this special event is held yearly in his name. Armed with poles supplied by Pikemasters children of all ages tried their hand at fishing in conditions that are difficult for even the seasoned adult fisherman. The weather was cool, cloudy and windy. Each child left with a prize and a full stomach as Pikemaster members fed parents/guardians and children hot dogs and hamburgers on their huge member made grill. This year they had 167 kids sign up for the event. Looking across the shores of this pond you saw many children learning from Pikemaster members who gave them tips on casting or catching or helped put a worm on a hook. Other members measured their big catch and recorded it on the weight board. All in all everyone walked away with a happy face, a fun day and a prize donated by the club for this event.
Enjoying the sunshine!!
Look at what I caught!!
Relaxing after all the work.
Isn't she cute!
I get to keep this?
Is this big enough to be a winner?
Montana PikeMasters worked with the Elks Club,
South Side Task Force and Friendship House
to take youngsters out on Bighorn Lake at Barry's Landing
for a day of fishing on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2009. After fishing,
everyone enjoyed a burger and hot dog barbecue
before heading home.

PikeMasters hold
sixth Kids Day
at Laurel Pond
The Montana PikeMasters held their fifth annual Kids Day on June 3, 2005 at Laurel Pond with the help of a lot of sponsors, including major sponsorship by Wal-Mart.
The Kids Days keep getting bigger with 150 youngsters and perhaps 100 adults in attendance. Fishing was very good, with much of the credit for that going to Ken Frazer and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks hatchery personnel who stocked the pond with catchable rainbow trout and a good number of big cutthroat trout brood stock they were retiring.
PikeMasters members manned the grills, flipped the burgers, passed out buns, beans, chips and beverages and offered advice on how to keep them from blowing off plates as a healthy wind was blowing.
Becky Heil led the way in organizing the day with a kids casting contest and plenty of prizes to be given away.
For a look at the long list of sponsors and some photos from Kids Day, just go to 2006 Kids Day Photo Gallery
Many thanks to all who made this day a great success.
PikeMasters hold
fifth Kids Day
at Laurel Pond
The Montana PikeMasters held their fifth annual Kids Day on June 4, 2005 at Laurel Pond. It's an understatement to say a god time was had by all.
Youngsters, parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts stretched out along the banks to try their luck for rainbow trout, with PikeMasters members working along the line to help anyone in need of instant casting instruction, baiting, fish-measuring or gear repair.
Ramrodded by Becky Heil, the Kids Day went smoothly with a long list of sponsors including Meadow Green Lawn Service, TNT Spring and Suspension, Selby's Essco, Fisher Construction, Hi Tech Construction, Eagle Claw, Pepsi, Holiday Store at Shiloh and Grand, Coca Cola, NAPA, Abba Graphics, Windmill Club, Laurel Ace Hardware and Party Pig Catering.
Party Pig Catering provided the hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, chips and beverages for lunch for everyone. A Kids Casting Contest was held. And many, many trout were caught.
Montana PikeMasters also supports other kids fishing days held in the Billings area, including the Billings YMCA Kids Fishing Day at Riverfront Park, joining other fishing clubs in the area to help with this good cause.

The Montana PikeMasters get involved with as many kids fishing programs as possible. Kids are the future of our sport. We believe in them and want to give them a good start in great lifetime activity.
With a lot of support from many sponsors including a big donation from the West End Wal-Mart, the Montana PikeMasters' fourth annual Kids Fishing Day was a huge success with 74 young fishermen and their families enjoying a warm and sunny Sunday at Laurel Pond.
With Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks biologist Ken Frazer bringing a fish display and Party Pig Catering and Fondue providing the lunch, everyone was well-fed, happy and knew a lot more about fish and fishing when the day was done.
