The Reid Lake Catch and Release Walleye Fishing Derby was another success at Simmie this past weekend.

Put on by The Shaunavon Wildlife Federation, the weekend offered up some great fishing as well as a steak supper and raffles.

Tyson Willman is the President of the Shaunavon Wildlife Federation. He says, "It really helps our Board out. It's our major fundraiser for our local club here, and it allows us to put money back in the community and help out with events. You can usually see anywhere from two to three hundred people at a time around the tents."

Willman says they had a total of 87 teams out this year and paid out about $18,000 in prize money.

The Club also held their Tournament Inside a Tournament that paid out $6100.

The winning team was Derek Dean and Dan Martin. In second place was Rick and Richard Knittle, and in third place was Jesse and Owen Meyer.
