Anglers invited to reel in big pike and support Estaire firefighters

The Estaire Volunteer Fire Department is inviting anglers to its Annual Family Fish Derby, an event that has been running for more than 30 years. Jenny Borton, chair of the department’s board, said the derby has drawn community support through both sunshine and rain, and that volunteers and participants appreciate the turnout ahead of the Aug. 15 event. Registration opens at 7 a.m. at the public boat launch at the end of Nepewassi Lake Road in Estaire, with fishing starting shortly afterward. Fish measuring will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a measuring station on the dock to the left of the public dock when approaching from the lake.
