The 12th Annual Lac la Hache Fathers Day Fishing Derby is slated for June 16-17.
Coincidently, it is the one weekend of the year a fishing licence is not required for British Columbians.
There are cash prizes for the largest fish, $400; second largest fish, $250; largest rainbow, $100; and largest whitefish, $100. There will also be a number of hidden weight prizes available to be won. Every derby ticket holder will also have his or her name entered into a bonus draw for the many prizes that have been generously donated.
Hamburgers and hotdogs will be available on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Prizes will be awarded at Kokanee Bay Resort on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Tickets are available at Kokanee Bay Resort, Lac la Hache Food Mart, Donex Pharmacy & Department Store in 100 Mile House, and Chilcotin Guns in Williams Lake. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 years and under.
The funds raised by the Lac la Hache Father’s Day Fishing Derby Society get distributed to a number of organizations in the community.
