Once youngsters reeled in their catch, Moose Lodge volunteers helped snatch the fish from the water, remove the hook, then clean it.

The smiles were absolutely contagious during the annual Camas Moose Lodge fishing derby Friday morning.

Boys and girls tossed their lines in the calm waters of Lacamas Lake to try their hands at catching at lease one fish. With 4,000 of the little wiggly swimmers sloshing around beneath the surface of a small netted-off area next to the Lodge’s docks, it didn’t take long for the youngsters to begin reeling rainbow and brown trout — one after another. That’s when the smiles, laughter and excitement really started.
