Mar 9, 2020 by Chris Wood, Ph.D.

The Biggest Catch of the Day during the 15th Annual MWA Kids Fishing Derby was reeled in by Hannah Parkerson (right), while Ben Dziadul (left) reeled in the Biggest Trout of the Day.

Approximately 400 people took part in this year’s MWA Kids Fishing Derby, held on Saturday, March 7, at Javors Lucas Lake, prior to the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Parents, guests, and MWA volunteers joined over 200 kids participating, for an event that featured an opportunity to catch rainbow trout. To make this day of fun possible, sponsors donated $2,150 to cover the cost of prizes, refreshments, and other expenses associated with the free event.
