The free event is for youth age 16 years and under. There will be big fish prizes for four age categories and tagged fish worth $25 if caught during the derby. Prizes will be handed out to all youth who register, but anglers must be present to collect prizes at noon.
Volunteers will be on hand to help drill holes and teach children how to fish, if needed. While some fishing gear and tackle will be available for loan, anglers with their own equipment are encouraged to bring it.
