Manotick Bait will get you ready for Kiwanis Dickinson Days Fishing Derby
The Customers Always Write
By Brian Cromie
Lisa
Major carries a complete line of fishing gear, bait, and hunting
supplies at her store, located on River Road just south of Mitch Owens
Road.
I
don’t know about you, but I enjoyed fishing when I was a kid. I
still recall the excitement of catching even the smallest fish.
Maybe if I had hauled in something large occasionally, fishing might
have become the life-long passion I see in others.
I was reintroduced to the sport a few years ago when asked to organize
the Kiwanis Fishing Derby. The Derby is held at the Mill dam on
the Saturday morning of Dickinson Days. Kids under 18,
accompanied by an adult, catch all the fish they can, keep count, and
release them back into the river. Under 18’s don’t need a license
to fish. The Derby is free, with lots of prizes, and the 40 or so
children who come have a wonderful time.
