Photo Gallery: 2019 Flinty Fishing Derby
Snow and windy conditions were far from enough to stop hundreds of dedicated fishers from dropping line during the Flinty Fishing Derby at Lake Athapapuskow on April 7. The annual event, hosted by the Flin Flon Rotary Club, brought more than four hundred anglers out on the ice to search for jackfish and the occasional trout or whitefish.
