Johnny Talbott shows off his first place winning trout.
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.
