Sportsmen honor Tom Augsburger - "Ole Augie" number one trout in 2012
We're all going fishing for Tom Augsburger this year. The Bluffton Sportmen's Club honored Augsburger as the number one tagged trout for the 2012 trout derby set for Sunday, May 6, at Buckeye park.
"Ole Augie" honors Augsburger, who has served as the club president for over 22 years. Tom is part of the first "father-son" team to share the number one trout honor. Tom's father, Ralph, was recognized by the club when it named the number one trout in his honor in 1983.
The club's annual meeting is at 7 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 28, in the Bluffton Community Sportmen's Clubhouse, the depot across from the Buckeye.
The meeting will include an update on 2011 club events, plans for 2012, entertainment and a fish fry.
Membership dues for 2012 allow fishing in the Buckeye and National Quarry. Dues are $30 for persons 14 and older and $10 for persons 13 and under.
