Hey everyone it’s that time of the year again! Time for some fishing and the 3rd Langford Lake fishing derby. Fish weighing will begin at 7AM and end at 2:30PM with the end ceremonies being at 5PM the same day at the kids park at the end of Leigh Rd.
Like last year, we will have someone weighing fish at the new dock by the YMCA and also the fishing dock just beside it. We will have someone weighing fish at the fishing dock at Le Quesne Park and also the kids park/main beach at the end of Leigh Rd, where Zak Davis from Robinson’s Outdoor store will be doing fly fishing casting lessons from 8-11. We will have a few more boats this year on the lake weighing fish, they will be identified by a Canadian flag off of there boat.
Tickets will be on sale April 1st at Island Outfitters and Robinsons outdoor store where you will be required to sign a waiver when acquiring a ticket. Tickets are by donation and are given to the Canadian Cancer Society which last year we managed to raise 1,150$.
This year all the donations will be donated in the name of Patrick Gilmore (owner of Pat’s Premium Flies) who we sadly lost to cancer last year. Pat has sponsored our Derby since the beginning, and was also a very accomplished and well known fly tier and seller in the lower mainland for many many years!
As always, let’s remember this is a derby for the kids but we make sure to have some prizes for the adults also. Thank you everyone we can’t wait to see all of you out there.
Your host,
Nikeifer Kotanko
