(Salisbury, MD) Cast your rod at Salisbury City Park Saturday, June 6 during Wicomico Recreation, Parks & Tourism’s Annual Fishing Derby. The Annual Fishing Derby is a free event, open to children 15 and under.
Registration will begin at 8:30am (advanced registration is not necessary), and fishing starts promptly at 9:00am. Each child must bring their own rod and bait. Several catch and release contests are planned. Prizes and trophies will be awarded for the biggest fish, most fish caught, youngest angler, most unusual catch and more. As an added component, children participating may qualify for a unique category and win a guided fishing trip sponsored by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

ReplyDeleteYour post says the derby is Saturday June 6. This date is not a Saturday. I believe the event is on June 2.
