A long-running fishing tournament raised money to help a long-standing cause for conservation.
The 47th annual Muskie Tournament on Pomme de Terre Lake was held the first weekend of October, and the turnout was great with around 40 folks participating, George Donner said.
Donner, the president of Pomme de Terre Chapter of Muskies Inc., said this tournament raised about $1,200. With 6,000 members across the United States and 106 in the Pomme de Terre chapter, Muskie Inc. works to protect the muskie species.
"We're always appreciative of the people that show up and the people that donate prizes," Donner said.
