Blanchard, Dickson finish first in derby

SANDPOINT - Derek Blanchard and Edwin Dickson have been crowned the unofficial first-place winners of the Lake Pend Oreille Idaho Club's annual spring derby.

Blanchard caught a 21-pound adult rainbow trout early on in the derby and went on to win the adult division. Dickson, meanwhile, reeled in a 23-pound lake trout and went on to claim first in the adult Mackinaw division.

Dylan Moore finished first in the derby's inaugural junior division with a 6-pounder. Ben Rose's 12-pound catch was good for first in the Youth A division.

Maddy Rusho and Mia O'Hara disrupted the Youth A standings with catches that put them in second and third, respectively, as the derby drew to a close.

LPOIC is hosting an awards presentation on Saturday at the Bonner Mall in Ponderay. The presentation starts at 7 p.m.
