FISHING -- Anglers will be fishing for more than $10,000 in cash and prizes when the 2016 Lake Pend Oreille Fall Fishing Derby kicks off Saturday, Nov. 19. 

The annual event sponsored by the Lake Pend Oreille Idaho Club runs through Nov. 23 with break for Thanksgiving Day before concluding with three more days of competition on Nov. 25-27.

The derby features adult divisions for mackinaw and rainbows, two youth divisions and a junior division.  Cash prizes also are awarded for top catches each day of the tourney.

Top division prize winners last year were Mike Halford of Bonners Ferry, who netted $2,000 for a 20.10-pound rainbow, and Scott Plue of Sandpoint, who won $1,000 for a 20.14-pound mackinaw.

Tickets are sold at businesses around the Lake and at the two White Elephant stores in Spokane.

The Lake Pend Oreille Idaho Club also holds a spring derby.
