The walleye bite at Keyhole has been on the slow side this week. The post spawn and unsettled weather haven’t helped any. Water temps are now around 55 degrees and the walleye have spawned. Things will start picking up soon and with warmer water temps, fishermen should also try using some night crawlers & leeches along with minnows. The hard part will be finding fish as the lake has changed so much with the rising water. You will probably find fish in places that you’re not used to catching them. The good news is the crappie bite has started. We’ve had some good reports the last couple of days and seen come stringers with 10”-12” fish.
They are moving into shallower water to spawn. Try fishing near flooded brush or trees. Minnows and bobbers are always a good bet but small plastics and jigs work well also. Try beetlespins on roadrunners. Crappie fishing at Keyhole this time of year can be fantastic and is a good time to introduce a new fisherman to the sport. The Wyoming Walleye Circuit will be holding it’s Keyhole Reservoir Tournament May 19-20th. You can find more information on it at www. wyomingwalleye.com on the web. One change will be that their rules meetings and weigh-ins will be held at the Empire Guesthouse & RV Park in Pine Haven this year.
The Campbell County Recreation Center will be closed for one week beginning on Monday, May 14 and continuing through Sunday, May 20, for annual maintenance. “As far as last year that was the first year that we closed for a full week,” explains Dave McCormick, Executive Director for Campbell County Parks and Rec. “Generally, prior to that at the old facility we would just do maintenance throughout the building and throughout the year and close at certain times during the year, and with this large of a facility we thought it would be better just to do all the repairs.” McCormick says the largest maintenance project this year will likely be stripping and resealing the floor in the gymnasium. As a result, he says the basketball and volleyball courts will be closed during the entire week. However, he says some other parts of the Rec Center may reopen by that Friday or Saturday, including the weight room, cardio room and the climbing wall. McCormick said completing annual maintenance by closing the entire facility for a week worked well last year, and that the Rec Center’s customers were patient through the entire process. “It will be a week packed with a lot of work,” McCormick says.
City Council approves revisions to boundaries of City Wards One, Two and Three The revision is to conform the wards with new State voting precincts
The Gillette City Council approved revisions to the boundaries of the city wards at the Monday, May 7th City Council meeting. The ward map revisions had to be made to conform the city wards to the State voting precincts. “With this revision, the public should study the map and see which ward they reside in,” said Public Information Officer Joe Lunne. He added, “This is of particular importance with the upcoming election.” The Wyoming State Legislature recently approved a plan to establish new House and Senate election districts for the State in light of the 2010 Census. Due to the large population increase in Campbell County, the Campbell County Commissioners had to revise the boundaries of the election precincts to fit in the newly approved legislative districts for the State House and Senate. Precinct boundaries are established so that they don’t cross the boundaries of City Wards and City Wards are designed so that the Wards each contain roughly the same population. Because the population growth since the 2000 census has been both very large and not evenly distributed in the three City Wards, it is necessary to alter their boundaries to achieve better population equality and to align them with the new County election precincts. The City of Gillette
worked closely with the County Election Clerk and County Clerk to finalize the new precinct boundaries to minimize the changes that will have to be made to the Ward boundaries. The ordinance adjusts the edges of the Wards and will greatly improve the population balance between the Wards. The new Ward boundaries will result in a population in Ward 2 of 9,932, Ward 3 at 9,933 and Ward 1 at 9,961. Before the revision, Ward 2 had the greatest increase in popula-
tion and totaled an estimated 10,608 persons. Ward 1 was second with a population of 9,710 and Ward 3 contained 9,545 persons. The City Council is composed of six members elected from the three wards of the City on a nonpartisan basis to serve overlapping four-year terms. The Mayor is elected at-large to serve a four-year term as presiding officer at City Council meetings and as the official head of the City for legislative and ceremonial purposes.
