The students experienced great weather, great prizes.and great learning opportunites around the use of fishing equipment and species identification, 2020 saw the edition of Jameswood School! Everyone involved had a memorable time fishing with their peers out on the ice. The fish did not cooperate like they have in past. The 2019 derby saw a record setting 166 fish caught by 86 anglers. However the 2020 edition of the division derby had 151 anglers but only 6 fish landed. Despite the tough conditions St James Collegiate was able to secure 2 nice Walleyes and took home the trophy.
