Join OC Parks for a fun filled day of FREE fishing and friendly competition at Mile Square Regional Park in Fountain Valley, California.
OC Parks, California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Angler Chronicles are pleased to host the annual Kids’ Fishing Derby at the North Lake at Mile Square Regional Park on Saturday, March 21 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Kids ages 6-15 fish for FREE at the Fishing Derby and compete to win multiple prizes for finalists and champions in different age groups. The lake will be stocked with trout and catfish just for the derby.
According to Labradorfishingcharters.com, “Fishing teaches patience. It also includes some wins (caught it!) and some losses (it got away!), which helps kids understand that life has its rewards and its challenges. Furthermore, fishing is a great way for people of different generations (grandparents, parents, kids) to bond over a fun, exciting, shared activity.”
Registration for the derby will take place from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. with the derby itself starting promptly at 9 a.m. Fishing clinics will be hosted throughout the event and a limited quantity of fishing rods will be available for loan.
