This derby has become a family tradition for us.
The kids look forward to it every year, and it’s one of the few events where everyone—from beginners to seasoned anglers—feels welcome.

Watching my kids fish the same derby I grew up attending is something special. This event connects generations and keeps a great tradition alive.
Jordan
There’s always so much for the kids to enjoy—from the youth fishing pond to prizes and activities that keep them excited all weekend. It’s one of the reasons our family never misses this derby.
Taylor
It was my first fishing derby, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was clearly organized, and everyone was incredibly encouraging.
Casey
Our kids talk about the youth fishing pond and prizes just as much as the fishing itself. It’s one of the most family-friendly events we attend all year.
