Hi Nathan!
This is actually the post for last year's Fishing Derby. This isn't one of our events and we haven't had any word on one this year, sorry!

But we ARE having our first Recreation Fair THIS SATURDAY 9am-3pm near the splash park. All of our recreation instructors on hand on same day to demo their FREE weekly classes and answer questions. Our Urban Garden Volunteer Days are kicking off too right next to the Fair where any one, any age can help us get the garden ready for growing season. We hope you'll bring the kids by!

Is the water stocked with trout/another type of fish for this derby, and is there one in 2016, or no? Thanks.

It’s very important to take some precaution while fishing with kids and this post is very helpful for safe fishing with the kids. You’re doing a great job. Keep it up.

Is there going to be a fishing derby this year?

Hi Celeste!
Since Lake Frances is in the early stages of restoration and at this time not even full enough for fish since it was drained and dredged, it's highly unlikely there will be a Fishing Derby this year. It will be up to the City whether the derby continues after the shoreline/islands are naturalized with new plantings later this summer. --Amy
