Fishing net finds its way home

Malta’s Don Voegel got a call from his wife, Cheryl, about a month ago and she was looking to borrow a fishing net for someone she didn’t really know.

Cheryl, the store manager at Malta’s Albertsons, told her husband a couple from Hamilton, Mont., was in the store as they made a stop on their way to Fourchette Bay in Fort Peck for some early summer fishing.

“They forgot their net and there were none available in town,” Don said. “So, I brought the net down to the store and found out this couple wasn’t going to be coming back through Malta so I wasn’t sure how we would get the net back.”
