Nick Beninate Photos from the 1980s & '90s
Nick Beninate attended the club as a guest every summer starting in 1982 until the late '90s. When his long-time Army buddy, Barney Boutelle, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and could no longer come, Nick reluctantly decided he better hang up his fishing rods, as well. But he sent in many pictures of the fun times he enjoyed fishing Georgian Bay and they are posted below. Sadly, Nick passed on in 2012.
