54th Annual Chain O’ Lakes fishing derby
The 54th Annual Chain O’ Lakes Fishing Derby and Winter Festival, which began Saturday at the Thirsty Turtle Beach Bar and Grill on Channel Lake near Antioch, continues Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Northern Illinois Conservation Club-sponsored event featured good old-fashioned winter fun, including ice fishing, games for children and adults, food and raffles.
Hourly fishing prizes for the biggest and smallest fish were awarded to the anglers. More than $5,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded. The Thirsty Turtle is located at 42273 N. Woodbine Ave.
