Last weekend was the 13th annual trout tournament on the Stony Creek, hosted by the Stony Creek Anglers. As a member of the club, I didn’t do any fishing, but instead helped with setup & stocking, as well as worked in the merchandise booth on both Saturday & Sunday.

Saturday was an awesome day, the weather was beautiful & sunny, and the turnout was great. Sunday…well, not so much. It was rainy & chilly for most of the morning, and only the die-hard of anglers showed up. Those that did show up either day were treated to some well stocked water – as almost 2500 trout were stocked in total, several over 20″ in length. The largest fish of the weekend was 26.5″ and almost 9 pounds!

Despite Sunday’s rain, all was well that ended well, and the we raised a nice sum of money to help support the club’s trout nursery, streambank improvement projects, and initiatives within the community.

Last but not least, here’s a short video I took of some of Saturday’s action.
Note: All of the photos & video above were taken with my new Kodak Playsport video camera. I’ll probably do a full write up on the camera later, but for only $150, I think it’s a pretty nice little HD camera…and yes, it’s waterproof too!
I'm due for a camera… looking forward to the write up
Great video, there were some cute kids out there. I liked how the little girl was reeling in a fish from the kids pool. Her face buried in her dad's side the whole time.
Looks like everybody had fun. I especially liked the little guy at the beginning. He stops reeling in his fish to straighten his jacket. We must look good while fishing. Aren't kids great?Mark
@Bigerrfish – I want to take it out a few more times, then I'll give everyone the scoop. Very promising so far though.@Clif & Shoreman – The kids really made the weekend. It was definitely enjoyable to see all of the kids' reactions to catching their fish.
