“The fishing derbies are always fun events that children and families look forward to and many return to participate each year,” said Supervisor Knabe. “Even if a child has never fished before, there are volunteers on-hand to show them the art of casting a line and the fun of putting a worm on a hook.”

Volunteers will be on hand to give fishing lessons and provide angler safety instruction.
