Over the weekend, the Souris-Moose Creek Wildlife Federation had their third annual fishing derby on Grant Devine Lake. There was a contest for the largest pike, the largest walleye and a 50/50 perch pot.
According to Cory Rucks, the event was a success.
"It was a good day, we had excellent attendance, more than we expected anyways. No wind and plus temperatures. Lots of fish were caught," Rucks explains.
The winners of the event are as follows. For largest pike caught, Dave Carriere got first place with a fish measuring in at 36.5 inches. Second place went to Lynn Hrywkiw with a pike measuring at 35.5 inches, and there was a three-way tie for third, so they drew a name out of a hat and Craig Cameron was picked with a pike measuring in at 33 inches.
The winners of the largest walleye caught are Derek Campbell with a fish measuring in at 22 inches. Second place was Brady Fidierchuck with a fish measuring 20 inches. Third place was Aaron Downing with a fish measuring at 18.25 inches.
There was also a 50/50 perch pot and the winner of that was Aaron Dowing with a perch at 13 inches. He won $1,225.
The wildlife federation would like to thank everyone for their support and congratulate everyone who participated.
