Spring of 2013, "School of Fish" presented by professional fisherman Mike Frisch, was held at Lac Qui Parle Valley High School and Montevideo High School. The students who participated in the program learned the basics of open water fishing, including how to tie a knot and set up a slip bobber fishing rig. All participants received a fishing rod/reel combo, t-shirt, snack bag and book on fishing.
The Fall of 2013 brought Mike back to our area for a new class called "School of Fish On Ice".

Mike is such a great teacher that this young angler can tie a knot with his eyes closed!
2013 Lac Qui Parle Valley "School of Fish" Graduates
The Spring of 2013 was an exciting time for a number of students in our area. A trap shooting league was introduced to students in the Montevideo and Lac Qui Parle Valley School Districts. Each school put together a team of young shooters who participated in the league.
Lac Qui Parle Valley had 25 students participate in trap shooting. Students improved their shooting as the year went along. They shot 7 weeks and each week shot 50 rounds. Of the 25 shooters 13 of them went to the state tourney in Alexandria. Two of those students brought home trophies from the state tournament. Chloe Sachs took 3rd place in the female novice division. Quintin Peterson took 3rd place in the JV division for males. This was wonderful to having two students win a trophy during the first year of participating. As a team they finished 14th out of 96 teams. We look forward to the upcoming season and hope both schools build on their numbers from last year.
