| Bluie Walker landed this 3.020kg brown trout from Lake Selfe to win the prize for the heaviest fish caught and weighed during the competition. Good fish were also taken by anglers fishing nearby Lake Georgina. |

Part of the large crowd looks on as many good prizes were handed out. The event was well organized and a lot of fun. |

| Waiting in line to weigh their fish before 3pm on Saturday afternoon. Though there were a large number of fish caught overall: many anglers went fishless! However you could still win a good prize just by entering. |
Conditions for boating were difficult even on Lake Selfe. When heading up to these lakes you always have to be prepared to "fish from shore only" should the wind get up. |

The wind howls down Lake Selfe. Note the clouds of dust stirred up by vehicles traveling along the lake side. |
