PHOTOS: 49th annual Sunriser Lions ice fishing derby

Photos from the 49th annual Sunriser Lions ice fishing derby at Smith Lake in Kila on Saturday. The first 100 kids 12 and under to catch a fish received a free ice fishing rod and reel set from the Flathead Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited. The derby serves as a fundraiser for the Sunriser’s family fishing pond programs. The Lions also provided a variety of food and drink to stay warm, including grilled burgers, hot dogs, chili, hot drinks and marshmallows to roast by the warming fire.
