PUTNAM — The Rotary Fishing Derby drew more than 80 participants despite the rain Sunday, April 22. The derby was held on the Quinebaug River by Rotary Park in Putnam, allowing for fishermen ages 3-15 to participate. Prizes were given for biggest, lit- tlest, and most fish caught in three separate categories. Derby Chairman Ian MacLaren said the event is a great opportunity for mem- bers of the community to come out and enjoy the day together. “Even though it’s raining, this community event is still turning out to be very success- ful, and it’s nice to see such a great turn out,” said MacLaren. The prize for smallest fish went to Emily St. Martin; the prize for largest fish went to David Mynahan (age 5 and under, 7.62-pound carp); Daniel Pratt (age 6-9, 9.56-pound carp); Cody Cheever (age 10-12, 2.77-pound carp); and Josh Knoll (age 13-15, 10.5-ounce catfish). Most Fish Caught prize went to Hayden Field (3); Jose Ruiz (3); and Cody/Nick Cheever (2). Highest Total Weight (all categories): Second prize, Hayden Field; First Prize, Daniel Pratt.
