Youth Trout Derby This Weekend

The 6th annual Jasper Youth Trout Derby will be held this Saturday (January 13th) from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Jasper City Pond. The derby is open to youth anglers 16 years of age and under.

This is a FREE derby and no registration or fishing license (for kids 16 and under) is required. Just show up at the pond with your fishing rod and be ready to catch some trout! If you don't own your own fishing rod and reel - come anyway! There will be a limited number of rods and reels available for kids who don't have their own. Bait (nightcrawlers and kernel corn), hooks, sinkers, and bobbers will be provided.

Free hotdogs and drinks will also be served and the first 100 kids to show up will get a goodie bag!

Prizes will be awarded for different age categories for the largest and smallest trout caught. There will also be a prize for the largest non-trout fish caught. The daily bag limit is 5 trout.

For more information regarding the trout derby, contact the TPW Inland Fisheries Management Office at (409) 384-9572.
