There will be a youth division for anglers under 14 years of age. Youth participants must be fishing with a licensed adult participant. Entries in the free Youth division are not eligible for prizes in the Big Fish division (they will have their own), but they are welcome to register and pay to be in the main Derby. All eligible youth participants will be entered in a drawing for a Lifetime Fishing License thanks to sponsor Specialty Drywall!
