Stormy Lake Rock Bass Derby Click here to see history.
2010's Derby was held without the benefit of the signs that are usually posted around the lake. 
A small but lively group turned out for the weigh in between 10 and 11am on Civic Holiday Monday.
This year we had only 6 participants, 3 from the McAllister group, 2 from the Woodward group and William Mott.
Even though the number of participants was rather low the results were quite good.  A total of 279 fish were caught. 

The good news is that catching a large quantity of rock bass is getting harder and harder.  The reports around the lake are that the small mouth bass are getting larger and more plentiful.

All participants received a tackle box and a lure. 

Prize winners also received a trophy and flashlight.

  • Most by a group: 164
  • Largest: 9.5 inches
  • Most 10 and under: 20
