Sixty eager anglers tried their luck in the 2015 Schroon Lake Kids Fishing Derby held Saturday, July 25th, at the Schroon Lake town dock, with over 85% of the participants traveling from outside the Schroon Lake area.

Perch:
1. Bella Crum
2. Mathew Christina
3. Ethan Farriss

2. Jack Kazmer
3. Anna Maisonville

2. Eddie Walsh
3. Lindsey Smith

The largest fish was 2 1/2 pound northern pike caught by 4 year old George Caramico of Charleston South Carolina.
We are sad to report the two day Boat Safety Course, scheduled for this Tuesday (July 27) at the Boathouse, has been cancelled. The event organizer, Mark Granger, from the Schroon Lake Association who was to host the event, says lack of interest led to the course being beached.
Mark tells Schroon Laker that many folks are choosing to take boating courses on line.
But we are fans of the real event. Our entire family took the course with an instructor, and it was invaluable. Top scorer? Our then 12-year-old daughter, with 100 per cent.
