Several members of the LVH Fishing Club have helped and participated in the U-DA-MAN fishing tournament which occurs every year in October. Some of the funds from that event are used for enhancement of salmon habitat. Larry Dale, Wayde Dudley and Barb Dudley helped ODFW on Sunday, September 21st, with a project to place logs on Big Elk Creek. The US Forest Service selected 70 logs and had them stacked in a nearby meadow. (By logs I mean full grown trees that had the branches cut off, some with huge root wads). A helicopter then picked up the logs, one by one, and placed them in several designated areas on the creek. Our job was to help direct traffic and make sure no vehicles crossed the road if the helicopter was overhead. As we only had 4 vehicles that day we had plenty of time and the great pleasure of watching the helicopter work. It was amazing how they could pick up the logs, carry them and then place then exactly where they needed to go. It was very impressive as each round trip only took about 2-1/2 minutes.
