Astoria High School had a fishing Derby yesterday at Coffenbuery Lake. The students at the High School raise trout during the year as part of Aquatic Biology Program. To assist with the funding for their project, they have a derby when the trout are older. So some of the trout are tagged with a few colors corresponding to donated prizes and all are released into the lake at an undisclosed time prior to the event. At 7:30am, everyone pays their $ 10 entry fee and gets to fishing. Ken Hansen took Matthew (his son), Kyle and William and his boat. The boys had spent a great day fishing and came back with 12 fish. Ken and Kyle bagged blue tagged fish and claimed their prizes.
Melanie took some pictures and is going to forward to me so I can post to my blog. I'll post as soon as I receive them!
