The fishing derby was held on a glorious day! It was cancelled last weekend due to a raging snow storm, and reschuled to the next weekend. The day time temperatures ran around 8 degrees Celsius. Never being to a fishing derby, we headed down to the lake for lunch and a sleep over, and to see what this derby was all about.
I was totally stunned how well planned and organized this event was. We ate, then walked around the fishing grounds to where the 400 drilled holes were, and were the fishers were trying their best to catch the largest fish. It took us 90 minutes to walk around. We met old and new friends, chatted, laughed, watched as fish were reeled in and either thrown back or taken for a measurement. The prize money was $1000 for the largest fish in each category, and lots of prizes for the kids.
I thought we would be trudging in calf deep snow to get to the derby. I was surprised they even pushed snow for a parking lot. What a lot of fun we had!
Our good friend Rico, trying his luck for the big one.
Here are the young guys, friends of our son, who plan the fishing derby every year. Well done!
