David Butler, Eddy Shaw and Tatter Crain went fishing at Burrenjack Dam in the early 1960’s. They sent up camp at Carey’s reserve and went fishing for the night in a boat. When they got back all they could see was the tips of their fishing rods and the top of the Willies truck pocking out of the water. Lyle Baker drew this caricature after hearing the story.
