Fisher River Valley Fire/Rescue Ice Fishing Derby
January 30, 2016
Fisher River Valley Fire/Rescue's fundraising ice fishing
derby is being held this weekend. By mid-afternoon
Saturday, over 250 anglers had signed in, with more
expected for Sunday.
Pictured are Anna and Matt McComb from Kalispell, who are
regular participants in tournaments around the area. They
were fishing for perch on Middle Thompson Lake.
The fire department reported that ice conditions were safe
for walking, but not for four-wheelers. Minimum ice
thickness as taken by the department in various locations
was four inches, with some areas having thicker ice.
The weather was generally cooperative with high overcast,
occasional partly sunny skies and scattered light squalls
moving through. Overall, it was another great day to enjoy
Montana's outdoors.
