Pat Moore
Memorial Game Fish Derby - July 2012
For the past six
years, this derby has offered families, kids and eager anglers
a chance to get out
in the fresh ocean
air and fish for cash prizes and gift certificates from
local merchants. Large and
small fish win
prizes as do age groups and men and women categories.
An avid fisherman,
Pat Moore died from complications of Lou Gehrig disease
or ALS. The derby
was named in his
honor and to salute his sportsmanship and devotion to sustaining
fish
populations in
the Taiya Watershed, where he helped out in the local fish
hatcheries and passed
on his love of
fishing to many people. Contact:
