No trouts for Rainbow Fish Derby
By Milvena Erickson
Where have, all the
Rainbow Trout gone?
Fishermen and fisher -
women stood knee-deep
in theirigid waters of the
Bayfield River off
Rainbow Valley Camp
during the weekend
competing in the Bayfield
Lions Club First Annual
Rainbow Trout Derby,
and wondered just where
that "damned elusive
Rainbow trout" was
hiding. Despite their
valiant efforts and
dogged patience, no one
caught a rainbow trout.
(In fact the only one seen
was the majestic one
overhead to the northeast
on Saturday afternoon.)

day event from Friday
noon to Sunday noon from

Gordon Hill of Varna,
who was unable to attend
Sunday, .won the first -
prize in- the non-rainbOw
category with his catch of
a 211/2 pound chinook
salmon. He will be the
recipient of a -beautifully
framed picture of a
fisherman done in Crewel
work and donated by
Mrs. Elsie Truesdale of
Toronto, the 84 -year-old
grandmother of Paul
Gosse, who worked more
than 80 hours stitching
the fine piece of work.
Second prize went to Bill
Martin with a 161/2 pound
chinook salmon and third
was won by Jim Parsons
with a 14 pound chinook.
Both men received pit-
chers.
Mrs. Donna Gosse of
Toronto, the mother of
Paul Gosse, drew the
winning ticket on a

Fisheries iacted as judge
for the' event and was
especially thanked for
dedication and
participation. Randy
McClinchey (who is not a
Lions member) was also
cited by Mr. Brandon for
his tireless efforts in
setting up picnic tables,
cleaning up the garbage
and in general keeping an
eye on Rainbow Valley
• Camp.
Blamed for the lack of
that "damned elusive
rainbow" was the many
weeks of rdry weather
causing low water levels
and the chinook salmon in
the river. Rainbow trout
do not associate with the
chinook so saith the
anglers. However, as this
is being written Monday
morning, I am told that
with all the rain of the
past few days, the
Rainbow trout are
coming up the river and
as likely as not, someone
will have a trout for
dinner this evening. Ah!
the irony of it all.
Joe Brandon an-
nounced at the presen
tation ceremonies that
the prize money offered
4his year and not
awarded because of the
elusive rainbow will be
doubled for' next year's
Derby, meaning the first
prize will be $400, second
$200 and third $100. (This
writer is tempted to
borrow her son's $5
fishing rod and enter next
year. Where can a person
camp for 3 days, have a
chance at winning some
fabulous prizes as well as
cash, and become
acquainted with some of
the best anglers and
greatest people in the
.area in such -a relaxed
atmosphere — all for a
$20 entry fee?)
Also Sunday morning
from 9. a.m. 'till noon,
Bayfield Ligns members
served pancakes and
sausages with real
Bayfield maple syrup
from the Maples in 'Clan
Gregor Square. This
extra added attraction in
connection with the
Derby was held in the
new arena 'and com-
munity centre. (No
figures available at time
of writing.) All proceeds
from the Lions' efforts
will go towards com-
munity projects.
It was a great event,
and one already looked
forward to for next year.
