Sahuarita Scene May 2012

"My grandson and I were fishing at the Rancho Sahuarita Lake one day after school and he was thrilled to make a BIG catch. He asked me if I could email this picture to you to see if it could make the newsletter for May. He is staying here until school ends and will be moving to Hawaii with his family. He would love to show everyone what he was able to reel in!"
