Free Fishing Derby on June 1 at Salisbury City Park

(Salisbury, MD) Cast your rod at Salisbury City Park on Saturday, June 1 during the Annual Youth Fishing Derby. This free event is open to children 15 and under. Registration will begin Saturday morning 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.

In preparation for the Derby, the Department of Natural Resources will help stock the pond at Salisbury City Park. Approximately 500 blue gills will join the pond’s current inhabitants including catfish, large-mouth bass, sunny and perch.
