The HFFA is looking at sponsoring a pond management specialist to assess the status of Lake Wilson who will provide a management plan and recommendations on how to improve and sustain the freshwater fisheries at Lake Wilson. The HFFA will be selling a guided one hour boat tour of Lake Wilson with pr...

The State record for Pacu was supposedly caught in Manoa Pond (?) If this is the pond that I'm thinking off, it's not very big but it does hold some nice sized koi. It's possible that Pacu released into Lake Wilson could flourish and breed and I wouldn't be surprised what one could catch in the lake...

I registered my inflatable at the DLNR office on Queen Street last month. They informed me that if your boat is more than 8' and has a gas motor it has to be registered. Trickier part is how you plan to put your boat numbers on your inflatable. I opted to place my numbers on clear plastic and then m...

Checked about the fishing tournament, HFFA will not be sponsoring a tournament this year due to a number of schedule conflicts but will look
into holding one next year.

Here's a another thank you shout out to all the Trout Unlimited and HFFA members that came out to the hatchery today to help clean up the grounds and do a "little light" ground work filling in the pond and cleaning the grounds. Did not mean to mislead anyone about the work involved but many hands ma...

The HFFA sponsored an open tournament last year. Will check at next week's club meeting, and if there are plans to host a tournament again, will post details on the forum.

Stan,

We'll post signage at Wahiawa Middle School pointing to where the hatchery is located in the back of the school campus. There's a lot of parking available near the hatchery.


Steve

Crash,

Thanks for the generous offer for lunch, looking forward to tasting
that pulled pork after a morning's work cleaning the hatchery.

Brock will hopefully be getting a head count for you a few days before the cleanup day. I think he's also in contact with Stan as well.

Steve

Stan,

Maybe you can bring stuff to feed the Pacu's as well. BTW, do you know if any TU members were interested

Steve

Come and help cleanup the bass hatchery grounds and facility. Bring your garden/yard tools, weed/grass cutters, gloves etc. or just bring yourself. If we have enough manpower, we may be also removing/replacing one of the large breeding tanks We'll have refreshments available. Tour the hatchery and s...

What was encouraging to see today were the Tuc fingerlings (2-4") hiding out under the tree branches, a sign that the Tucs are successfully breeding.

The monthly HFFA fishing tournament was held today and the Tucs were busting all over the place in the morning -the action slowed down in the afternoon. Needless to say most fish caught by club members were Tucs. Two tagged LM bass were also caught. Here's the tag numbers and the weights of the fish...
