CLUB ACHIEVEMENTS
The Annual Ernie Eddy Memorial Children's Ice Fishing Derby.
The weather was soggy, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the 48 brave kids who registered. Kids of elementary school age and younger enjoyed the outdoors and learning the skill of ice fishing. They each shared the dream of catching the bigggest fish. The Club volunteers drill the holes, provide the bait, and lend the fishing gear. The kids fish for the largest catch of three species. Catch and release is encouraged. Each registered child can enjoy free hot chocolate, hotdogs and cookies. Cookies are made fresh by kind supporting donors. The anglers who catch the largest fish in each category win cash prizes. All share a winning day of fun, and every registered child goes home with a prize gift.
