Fishing Derby

This event is held during Iowa's free fishing weekend,
so a fishing license is not required. Teams must consist of at least one child under the age of 18 years old and one adult.  Contestants must supply their own bait, tackle, and poles.  This is a catch and release event from the shores of
Blue Heron Lake. Participants will need to return all fish to the lake once they are weighed and checked.  Prizes will be awarded in several categories.
