Hello,
Just looking for some feedback about the derby if you have ever attended.
Is there any consideration given to where on the lake the derby is held?
I have looked at maps of the area, and this is a fish spawning area for pike and perch. Does that make for a good place to fish?
Do you believe the organizers and fishermen(women) are being responsible in cleaning up after the derby? Garbage, cans etc?
Have the organizers ever announced how they give back to the community where the derby (this and others) are being held? (They hail from Manatoba.)
Like, donations to help with lake cleanup in the spring, actively being stewards of the lake (any lake they hold a derby). Making sure they are not damaging the environment so there will be quality fishing for years to come?
I have mixed feelings about the derby, my husband and his friends have been going for about 4 years. We live out here now and see first hand the "after" effects of the derby. So I'd just like to know your opinions, positive or negative.
