The winner

After a snowy Friday start, our hardy Anglers had the ‘wind’ to face at canon start on Saturday!
Friday was exciting as the top three fish were brought in early Friday afternoon, each one knocking the prior one down, until Andy Holman took the lead with his big, beautiful fish that won the derby!
I have posted lots of updates; photo’s and pics shared from out on the water on the Roche Harbor Salmon Derby Facebook page.
