It depended on which side of the water the appetites were. The fish were not as co-operative as some would have liked, but the 160 par- ticipants gobbled up 360 hot dogs and washed them down with same YOUNGEST ANGLER -- Three year-old Andrew Sinnamon gets a trophy from Brian Illman as the youngest angler in Saturday's Ex- eter Lions fishin• derb T -A photo number of soft drinks. Helping sales was the fact hot dogs and pop sold for 25 cents -each. Derby co-ordinator for the Lions Larry Wein reports about 35 fish be- ing caught. Most were rainbow trout, but a couple of suckers and chub were also landed. The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority assisted the Lions in pro- viding trophies and prizes to the winners. A number of fish were tagged when they were stocked into Morrison Dam five days before the derby, but none were landed Saturday. The $50 cash' prizes for the first two tagged fish were available only on Derby day. Anyone catching one of the special trout this week or later in the summer will have only the fun of catching them and telling about how big they were afterward. The prize to the adult catching the biggest trout went to Ken Brennan with a 21 inch catch. Jackie Morgan was the girl with the biggest fish and Shaun Dawe was the winner for the boys. The youngest fisherman was three year-old Andrew Sinnamon. Wein said the Lions were very hap- py with the response to Saturday's derby. He added, "That's the biggest group of fishermen we have ever had and we are looking forward to spon- soring a bigger and better derby again next year."
