A total of 38 adult fishing enthusiasts and 11 children aged 12-and-under (who were admitted for free) converged on Jake Fast Park on Saturday, June 20 for the second annual summer fishing derby which was hosted by Rivers and Area Game and Fish Association on Lake Wahtopanah. The 49 competitive fishers hooked a total of 37 fish comprised of 16 walleye, 12 northern pike, three perch and six rock bass. A cash prize of $200 was awarded for the longest fish in each of the four categories; this is the summary of winners: walleye, Perry White, Brandon, 73.7 centimetres (large enough for a Master Angler Award); northern pike, Ian Straker, Minnedosa, 81 centimetres; perch, Trevor Johnston, Rivers, 22.3 centimetres; rock bass, Roger Beaudin, Rivers, 27.5 centimetres (also large enough for a Master Angler Award).

As most activities go, this one started as a small idea and quickly morphed into a significant undertaking. It all began when Riley Shamray and Riley Lamb came up with the idea of putting on a floor hockey tournament for a noon hour activity. About the same time, Liliane Dupuis approached Rivers Collegiate Institute (RCI) with an idea to assist Riverdale Harvest with renewing their inventory. The Grade 7 social studies class turned both ideas into a hugely successful food drive, due to the terrific support of RCI staff and student body, parents and Little Italy of Brandon.
