Junior Fishing Derby

Held twice a year — spring and fall

The Junior Fishing Derby is one of our favorite traditions. Kids ages 15 and under are invited out to the pond for a morning of fishing, prizes, and snacks. It's free to attend, and bait is provided. Rods are available to borrow if you don't have your own.

Who

Open to all children 15 and under. Members and non-members welcome — bring a friend.

When

Twice a year. Check the calendar for this season's spring and fall dates.

What to Bring

A rod if you have one, weather-appropriate clothing, and a parent or guardian. We'll handle the rest.
