We did have a few really good days however, with more than 10 fish to the boat.  Other days made us have to work for our dinner, but we seemed to still manage a good fish each day.

West Kootenay Roller Derby proved that it’s anyone’s’ season this year.

Castlegar’s Dam City Rollers faced off against Salmo’s Babes of Brutality in the first bout of the night.

It was a close game through both 30-minute halves, with the Babes leading by as few as 40 points and ultimately winning with an unofficial score of 179-136.

Track cutting penalties near the end of the first half left the Babes with excellent scoring opportunities in the form of power jams.
