The Heppner Ranger District and the Heppner Lion’s Club sponsored a fishing derby on June 3 for local children 13 years old and under. Despite a very rainy and windy day. the event was a big success. Forty- one kids and their parents braved the weather at Willow Creek Reservoir in Heppner and came out for a fun day of fishing and prizes. Fishing was a little slow at first, but picked up as the day wore on. A special visitor to the derby was Smokey the Bear, who had en couraging words to offer to the young anglers. Many of the derby participants also helped to clean up the shores of the reservoir by pick ing up bags of litter. Prizes were awarded in many categories. The grand prize winner for the biggest fish went to Johnny Talbot, 4, of Boardman for catching an 18” rainbow trout that weighed 2 and 3/8 lbs. This was also the on ly trout caught. Other prize winners were as follows: Biggest Bass-Paula Spicerkuhn; Biggest Crappie-Randy Van Etta: Most Trout-Johnny Talbott; Most Bass-Paul a Spikerkuhn; and Most Crappie-Randy Van Etta. Pour years and under, first place trout-Johnny Talbott; Five-Seven years: first place crappie-Brad Adams; first place bass-Paula Spicerkuhn; and second place bass-Kyle McDaniel. Eight-ten year olds: first place crappie-Jake Roy; second place crappie-Jarrod Clark; first place bass-Abby Kahl; and second place bass-Jarrod Clark. Eleven-13 year olds: first place crappie-Randy Van Etta; second place crappie-Josh Clark; first place bass-Eric Skroch; and second place bass-Tami Elliott. Jennifer Rankin was the winner of the Hard-Luck Fisherman award for getting hooked by an errant cast. There were many prizes that weren’t won because of slow fishing, so these were awarded by drawing names from the rest of the derby en tries who hadn’t already won an award. In addition to the fishing derby, a contest was held to test the kids’ ac curacy in casting. Tracy Rankin, 7, was the winner of this event, with a cast that came within one foot of the target. ing get camp ready.
