Recommended Posts

smokerscully1

Annual Lake Nipigon trout derby held at High Hill Harbour north of Beardmore this past weekend

22 boats entered--about 80 fishermen total.

Top 3 fish 29lbs, 28lbs and 27lbs

Everyone seemed to be into fish but nothing over 30lbs entered

Is this a live release derby or catch/kill derby ? Those are some big fish to be killing and eating just for a derby if this is the case just curious if so ???

I just wish the salmon and lake nipigon derby didn't fall on the same weekend. It would be nice to fish them booth. Good size. Fish congrats to the winners at lake nipigon

It's a catch and kill contest--I don't know how it could be done any other way. Everyone tries to stay in contact with the weigh-in officials so you don't keep any fish smaller than 3rd place.

 

Most years it takes a 30 or 40 lber to place--I once had a 32 liber and didn't even place.

This derby is actually done in conjunction with local MNR staff as a creel and sample opportunity to check for new diseases and to keep an eye out for other possible problems , they've been doing this for as long as I can remember !
