On Saturday, June 2nd, well over 150 people gathered in the pouring down rain at 8am to cast their lines at the sound of a horn that indicated the start of the 23rd Annual Sheet Harbour and Area Ground Search and Rescue Fishing Derby at Marshall Falls Flowage. Within one minute of the horn sounding, multiple people were reeling in their first catch of the day. The rain let off slowly as the day went on, bringing out even more people to join in on the fun.
There were raffle tickets for sale on 25 generous donations all day long, both fly and spin casting competitions, a canteen with a plentiful menu, a kiddie’s tank to fish from, and for the first year Cabela’s was on site with items for sale. Below is a full list of winners from the 23rd Annual Sheet Harbour and Area Ground Search and Rescue Fishing Derby in 2018.
