More than 470 young anglers and their families enjoyed a day of fishing Saturday as the Lassen Sportsmen’s Club presented their 30th Annual Junior Fishing Derby on the Susan River in Susanville.
The derby is co-sponsored by the City of Susanville, the County of Lassen and the SIR Tribal Indian Council and this year’s event was dedicated to the memory of long-time fishing derby supporter Ernie Gorbet.
