Historical Reflections








Some prize catches taken during the 1971 Trout Derby are displayed at the weigh-in station manned by, from left, Bob Frey, Don Rock and Bernard Larsen. The 14th annual event was moved from Gunflint Lake to Trout Lake due to dangerous slush conditions. The March 14 derby featured four hours of fishing and a broomball game. The winner of the contest was Joe Jurek, who won the aluminum canoe for his 4-pound, 8-ounce trout.
