Father’s Day is around the corner, so if you enjoy fishing and the possibility of winning some great prizes, pack up your family and fishing gear and make your way to Lac la Hache for the 14th Annual Father’s Day Fishing Derby, June 14-15.
The derby is hosted by Kokanee Bay Resort, just 10 minutes north of the downtown Lac la Hache.
