A-TOM-MIK Trolling Flies >> Shane Zimmerman Memorial

>> Catalog Photos Dealers Pro Staff Contact Us

In honor of Shane Zimmerman, Shane's Mom, Dad and many friends along with A-TOM-MIK would like to present the Shane Zimmerman Memorial Big Fish Award during the Fair Haven, Mustad (Oswego) and the Little Salmon River Challenges. After the strong reception we received from the many anglers that came together to donate dollars for the "Oswego Net Pen Project" (click here) we figured we would try to build this memorial in the same manner. We will be offering the same type deal with a Tekota 800/copper/Ugly Stick combo up for grabs at $10.00/chance. The $1000.00 we hope to raise will be split 3 ways for the 3 largest fish (1 per event).

A first place big fish plaque & cash award of $350.00 per event is our goal along with one lucky angler walking away with a $350.00 Tekota/copper combo / A-TOM-MIK Fly package.

Shane Zimmerman pictured with his LOC placing King passed on in his sleep due to an unknown cause on 9/15/2007. Shane couldn't be more proud of his derby King, it meant the most. For a fellow angler to fall who shared the love that each of us can relate to from the big lake, will mean a true loss to the fishery. We are an intense breed that share the same desires, to lose one of us will hit home for many. Shane and dad Lester Zimmerman "Zip-N-Zim", were known by most, they fished out of Fair Haven and also frequented the Pro/Am scene. Shane would always be seen trying to help an angler out or sharing a story, he had his fellow anglers he looked up to as most of us do, even giving one of them, "Big Fin Gene" a blue spinnie, and said "Here, this is what we took our LOC King on!!" He would walk around with a smirk on his face if he felt he helped you out in any way to land your next King. Screamer Dave said Shane was the kind of guy who would give you his last buck, always known as one of the true nice guys of the angling crowd.

We will miss you Shane, you are now among the fish gods come lakeside, your memory will live on while your friends continue the chase of the Lake Ontario King Salmon

A-Tom-Mik Tom with Jordan (winner)

Tom,
I want you to know that I had my son Jordan (age 10), who was the winner of the 2008 Youth Shane Zimmerman Memorial Award at the LSRC read your write up on Shane you had posted on your site. I want him to know who Shane Zimmerman is and not just "some name on a nice plaque". I hope as my son grows as a fisherman and that he gains the great attributes that Shane possesed.

Thanks so much for all that you do to keep our great fishery alive. You have certainly done your share.

Tight lines and full coolers.

Brad and Jordan Wyard
North Andover, Mass.
