The 23rd Annual Youth Fishing Derby at Fort Hunter Liggett will be held this Saturday, April 26th.
The derby starts at 6:30 am and goes until noon. This free event invites children of all skill levels, up to age 15, to compete in various age groups.
This event is a fantastic opportunity for military and local youth to bond, learn about fishing, and experience the joy of reeling in a big one.
Children 15 and under fish for free, with no Fort Hunter Liggett permit required. Anglers who reel in the largest fish in each category will be given a prize.
Following the derby, open fishing will continue at the Del Venturi pond. Adults will require a valid California fishing license.
Signage will be posted on roads to aid participants in navigating to the event site.
