OC Parks would like to invite you and your kids to a fun morning of fishing at Tri-City Regional Park! This Kids’ Fishing Derby (for ages 15 and under) is designed to teach kids how to fish, while giving them an opportunity to catch a few from our lake.

Whether this is your first time fishing or you’re a regular, you will have fun trying to catch some fish! Instructors will be on hand to demonstrate, assist and answer any questions.

Please bring your own fishing pole. If you do not have a fishing pole, there will be some available for loan. The lake will be stocked with 2,000 lbs. of trophy-sized catfish and there will be a five-fish limit. Trophies will be awarded for the biggest fish! Adults will not be permitted to fish until the event is over.
