The Motter sisters had an afternoon of fishing with dad on Sunday.

Bluffton Community's Sportmen's Club stocked the Buckeye with lots of trout, but on Sunday the fish just weren't biting.

Sunday's trout derby did have some winners, however, Danny Pierce of McComb was winner of the 50/50 drawing. He went back to Hancock County with $757.50 in his billfold. The Sportsmen's Club took an equal amount for its future stocking projects.
