If you want to enjoy the fun of fishing and maybe even win some great prizes for your catch the Annual Rotary Club Pikeminnow Derby this weekend is just for you. Pikeminnows are easy fish to catch, and they can be found all along the Columbia River. You don’t even have to catch them many or any really big ones to qualify for the prizes, and there is over $12,000 in cash and prizes that will be given away at the big finale on Sunday. This is a great Father’s Day way to have some fun on the water, catch some fish and maybe hit it big on the prize wheel. There is still time to get in on the event. Tickets are available in Wenatchee at Hooked on Toys, in East Wenatchee at Bi-Mart and Bob Feil Boats and Motors. I am hoping that the perch will be biting somewhere. Our annual Father’s Day trip to a local lake is usually focused on catching big bunch of yellow perch, they’re a family favorite to catch and make for a great fish fry, too. We’ll be looking for them somewhere in the Columbia Basin and if I find a good place to catch them I’ll be sure and pass it on.
