Our Officers volunteered their time to help the Castaways – Veterans Casting Away Disabilities fishing event at Rathbun Lake in South- Central Iowa.
The event is a week long fishing event for disabled veterans. This is there 27th consecutive year and the 8th year held at Rathbun Lake.
Members of the Iowa Fish and Game Conservation Officers Association have participated every year that the event has been held at Rathbun Lake. Our off duty Conservation Officer members volunteered their time this year cleaning all the fish every day of the event. The Association also contributed a monetary donation to the group to help cover a portion of the costs associated with the week long event.
This year, 45 disabled veteran fishermen from 4 states participated. It is our absolute pleasure to help and we thank the Castaways Organization for inviting us to participate again this year. We will see you next year.
