2022 Kids Fishing DerbyThe Kelly Lake Sportsman’s Club had an extremely successful 2022 Kid’s 9th Annual Fishing Derby at Holt Park. The weather was forecast to be wet most of the week but it was a nice day in the end, thankfully. We had 115 kids and their families attend. Some fished from boats and some fished from shore but all had winning fish. They all enjoyed the free night crawlers supplied by Meatski's on Hwy. 64. Besides prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd there were 28 free bucket raffles and 14 free large prize raffles for all the kids. Mirrocraft boats and Lay in a Line Guide Service,
Kevin Pischke provided a guided musky fishing trip on the bay of Green Bay. Cabelas provided many rods and reels, shirts, yard games and tackle boxes. Rocket bobbers, Livingston lures, A Breed Apart Taxidermy and Lyn Kreuser donated bobbers and lures in a gift pack to every child participating. Lena Swamp Archery provided money for some of the great prizes. There were also several private donors who really helped with the kid’s derby to make it so successful. For lunch Suring Cellcom donated bottled water. Saputa Cheese donated three cases of string cheese. Club members made cookies and cupcakes. Kelly Lake Kwik Stop prepared hot dogs and donated chips for all who attended. No one went home hungry. To show you how much we appreciated it, we will ask you next year to do it again. Thanks to all of the families who participated. Lastly, thank you to all the Kelly Lake Sportsman’s Club volunteers who without their help this kid’s fishing derby would not be. See you next year, Bearman and Cindy Brokiewicz.

We are proud to announce two very deserving 2022 scholarship winners. Congratulations to Emma Gilligan and Graeson Pankratz. Emma is an avid outdoors person and spends her time outdoors: hunting, fishing, trapping and making maple syrup. “Emma writes, ‘I want to pursue a career in this field because I want to make a difference in keeping fisheries the perfect habitat for all fish. I also want to help keep all fisheries available to fishermen and help teach them how to respect nature.’” Emma is pursuing her career in Fisheries Biology @ UW-Stevens Point. Graeson is also planning to attend UW-Stevens Point pursuing a degree in Fisheries and Water Resources. “Graeson writes, ‘Ever since I was young I always had an interest in the outdoors, especially fishing. With going into a Fisheries program I not only hope to protect the fisheries and environment in Wisconsin, but also help bring joy that fishing provides to others like it did to me.’” We would like to wish Emma and Greason only the very best in their continuing studies and future! |
