The Flin Flon Trout Festival will officially begin on Monday with the start of the month long fishing derby. Once again there are plenty of cash prizes that are going to be handed out including $1500.00 for first in the Walleye, Burbot, Northern Pike and Trout categories.

Co- Chair Dianne Russell looks forward to the beginning of the Derby" This fishing Derby is very exciting. people love it and lots more are getting involved. It is $30.00 for adults and only $10.00 for kids 15 and under. Get out there and pick up those tickets for a chance at a lot of great prizes. We have splash prizes, secret lake prizes, secret length prizes. A big thanks to all the sponsors who we couldn't do this with out."

Fishing kits can be picked up at DI’S in Creighton, Denare Beach Office, and Tempo Gateway.
