Well the fall 2014 derby was a soaker but that is to be expected, at least since I have taken over running the show. All of the winners and weights have already been posted on our website, so to keep this short winded I won’t get into those details.
The 2015 spring derby was delightfully the best derby I have run weather wise. Fishing was a little tougher the normal, but still produced some nice fish. We had 80 Sr. anglers and 8 juniors this derby. 1st place went to Greg Allen with a wild female weighing 7.4lbs, 2nd place was our first female to make the podium Deb Zetler with a stocked OS fish at 7.1lbs and last but not least in 3rd was Mike Sousa also with a stock OS fish at 6.9lbs & the live release caught by Steven Lombard was a wild fish 28.5” Great job guys and gal.
Now, I would like to thank our amazing sponsors and food suppliers. The club is most gracious for our continued support from Angling Outfitters in Woodstock, Hammond Power Solutions, Black Bird Tackle Pure Fishing Canada in Brantford, Ron Plasket – (with some of the best gag prizes ever, can believe buddie took the gag over the FWF Custom 13’ float rod), Sauble Area Mens Club, Pete Barber & many others. Now to the food! Once again Q BBQ Eatery did a top notch job on the brisket, Carls Custom Meats nailed the burgers and dogs and all the park patrons that donated salads and side dishes. Our hats are off to you, thanks so much and I couldn’t put on this great event without you all.
I would also like to give a big shout out to Carlo, Paul & Jake for helping with the cooking & Erica King and Carol Tuner for the awesome job they did hustling all those raffle tickets, this raises a great deal of money for the club and our project such as our stocking project on the Suageen river. I hope to see you all the weekend after Canadian thanksgiving for our annual fall derby.
Tight Lines.
