Reel Recreation, the organization that puts on the Banks Lake Triple Fish Challenge, hit it out of the park again. According to Nic Alexander, president of the group, Fun Friday was a huge hit. They scheduled the event to stay open into the early evening, to make sure that kids would be out of school, and families could come after their workday. The big attraction was the trout pond, where kids got to catch a fish. In addition, there was food and live music and 500 people enjoyed the activities. In spite of very tough weather last Saturday, there was a very festive atmosphere at the weigh station on Sunday as anglers turned in their catches, which were much better than the day before. There were daily prizes for the biggest bass, walleye, trout or whitefish. Overall participation at this year’s event tied their best ever and had the highest number of youth they had ever had. The prizes awarded for both adult and youth winners were of exceptional quality, and there were lots of them.
