The Clinic was sponsored in coordination with the Lincoln Park
District, Lincoln Police Department's D.A.R.E. program and the
Nathan Turner family, which includes his wife, Sarah; his son,
Benjamin; his parents Dan & Nancy; his sisters, Janell and Nanette;
and many other loving family members and friends.
Lincoln Police Officers Jason Lucas (left) and Chris Reed explained
what size pole is needed for various types of fish, longer poles and
large hooks are needed to catch larger fish. Officer Miles Craig was
also watched on with his children as his fellow officers kept kids
in rapt attention demonstrating the attachment of fishing tackle and
talking the talk 'how to catch a fish' just as if they did this all
the time.
Officer Lucas said he uses small hooks to catch blue gills, and also
in winter fishing as fish eat small amounts and bite lightly in the
cold. Large hooks are needed for larger fish such as cat and carp,
and rounded hooks keep fish from swallowing the hook for easy
release.
13 Once the kids knew about how to choose a pole, and equip it with
a hook, sinkers and bobber, and a little bit about bait, it was time
to head out to learn about casting the line and what to do when that
fish bites. [to top of second

Also present at the Clinic were members of the Turner family. They sponsor the
event in honor of the young Lincoln City Alderman who passed away unexpectedly
from heart complications six years ago. Nathan would have been 36 last Tuesday,
May 31. He loved family time and fishing; and the Turner family, just as Nathan,
would love for other families to have the same fun experiences together.
All that remains now is for Saturday to get here real quick so everyone, kids
and parents, can head out to Hickory Lanes Campground and say "Gone fishing!"
