Seeking the big fish

Competitor at Clearwater Rotary Club’s annual Ice Man fishing derby on Dutch Lake

Barriere resident Mike Mueller holds one of two fish he caught during Clearwater Rotary Club’s annual Ice Man fishing derby on Dutch Lake on Sunday, Jan. 31. At 42 cm, the fish was enough to give Mueller fourth spot in the derby. Despite good conditions, there were only 39 anglers entered, down somewhat from previous years. Close to 100 people were on the ice for the event.
