The Flin Flon Rotary Club 2022 Flinty Virtual Ice Fishing Derby gets underway later this month. The Club’s Dean Grove says you can fish between March 19^th and April 3^rd in all lakes in Manitoba and Saskatchewan north of the 53^rd parallel with over 25 thousand dollars in prizes.  He explains what happens is people download the Fish Donkey app, you then go in and register under the Flinty Fish Derby site and they’ll walk you through the registration, you go out and fish and you open up the app and you’re able to fish for walleye, northern pike, lake trout and burbot and they also have mystery length categories.  You walk through the process of submitting an application, put it in, if you are one of the larger fish you see it on the leader board so you’ll be able to keep track of your progress.  He notes it’s a new way to do this but they think it’s going to be a great way to do it and give people lots of chance to go out and fish in their own time and during good weather and in lakes that they prefer.

Grove adds all profits raised go to support the construction of the new community pool complex.  You can find more information on The Flinty Ice Fishing Derby Facebook page.
