The fourth annual Healthy Lake Committee Ice Fishing Derby was held on Saturday March 4, 2017 in the northern basin of Pelican Lake, MB.

During the four hours of derby fishing a total of 62 fish were measured; 61 Northern Pike, 1 Perch, and no Walleye. Congratulations to Jamie Barwick of Portage la Prairie, MB, who caught the longest fish overall in the derby; a Northern Pike measuring 84.5 cm. As the winner of the derby, Jamie won an Outlander L-450 Quad valued at $8,000! Also, congratulations to Paizli Canada of Boissevain, MB, who caught the longest fish in the Junior category, a Northern Pike at 70 cm.

At our derby we award first to seventh place in each fish species. Because there were so few fish measured this year, we awarded the top seven fish caught in the Northern Pike category and the one fish caught in the Perch category. Then the remainder of prizes were given away in a random draw of all derby participants. Here are the Adult category winners:

NORTHERN PIKE WINNERS - ADULT

PERCH WINNERS - ADULT

We awarded all of the Junior fish caught, as there were only 5. The remaining Junior prizes were given away in a random draw. Here are the Junior category winners:
