GYC Annual Fishing Derby Results 2025

Biggest Fish – Lori Beitz – 16.12 lbs/oz salmon

Most pounds per pole – Steve Wagner (Hawghunters) – 26.8 lbs/oz

We had 70 people entered in the derby and 13 fish weighed in. The weather was amazing and the people that entered made it a great couple days at the club. I would like to extend thanks to everyone who took part in the derby/fish fry and helped out making this club event so much fun to be part of !!!

With that said we are looking to make a few small changes as this is starting to become one of the larger club events of the year!!! Going forward it will be $10 per entry and or meal ticket – kids will always be free.

Please forward any other ideas to Scott Wilson or Brad Beitz for the 2026 Derby. – Scott Wilson

Weed Party 2025

Low water levels and high temps have brought back the eurasian milfoil invasion to the basins. The west basin had it the worst causing two or three boats to get stuck in tall weeds.

On Saturday morning we had a great turnout and between weed rakes, cutters, and fish nets I think we accomplished enough to get through the rest of the season.

Big thanks to: Ron Downie, Ron Ball, Vince Van Alphen, Garth Beveridge, Joyce Buckley, Frank Greaves, Frank Solinger, John Lehman, Robin McMahon, Brad Findlay, John Gilbert, Mike Forcier, Randy Wright (and crew), Jason Lehtovaara. Special thanks to Sarah Lehtovaara for snacks, and to Ben Miller for lending us pond rakes and a dump trailer.

Sorry if I missed anyone who was also out helping.
