On August 14-23, 2026, Castlegar will host the Invasive Species Fishout Derby on the Columbia River.

The intent is to catch as many walleye and northern pike as possible because both species were introduced to the waters here and are detrimental to the native species of trout, Kokanee, and others. Over $3,000 in cash prizes will be awarded!

Gone Fishin' 🎣

University of Nebraska at Kearney students reeled in a top-three finish during a North American collegiate fishing competition that wrapped up last week.

Graduate student Robert Allison of Middleton, Idaho, and junior Connor Banzhaf of Gothenburg led the UNK team during the six-week Hardwater Havoc, which blends ice and open water fishing with citizen science.

“Most of our fishing was done right here in Kearney,” Banzhaf said. “This shows that you don’t have to travel long distances to chase a bite. Taking advantage of the opportunities in our own backyard to accomplish something like this is pretty cool.”
