The Wingham Sports-
man Club held their
annual Fishing Derby on a
beautiful, sunny June 17.
Allan Miller has been in
charge of this project for
over ten years and reports
that the Sportsman Club
loves it. It is all about the
participants. Members of
the club not only measure
and prepare the fish for
the participants to take
home, but also circulate
through the fishers to help
with the actual catches.
This year the pond was
stocked with 200 speckled
trout, but no one managed
to catch the big ones this
time around.
Angela McPherson of
Wingham Community Liv-
ing believes that everyone
who came out had caught
at least one fish, and many
had caught more. Many of
the participants reported
that they look forward to
this event every year and
love it. This year there
were 25 Community Liv-
ing fishers.
Each participant was
invited into the clubhouse
for a break or when they
were done fishing to enjoy
hotdogs and a soft drink.
In 2014 there were 44
fish caught. Jeff Lockridge
reported that this year the
total was 40 with the larg-
est being a 14 inch trout
caught by a young man
named Travis.
McPherson would like
to thank the Sportsman
Club on behalf of Wing -
ham Community Living
for providing such a great
day.
