Welcome to the Rohnert Park Fishing
Derby web page.
The 27th annual Rohnert Park Fishing Derby was a lot of fun,
as we had 290 kids this year. Even with smaller amount of fish stock this year,
due to the stocking permit problems, we still caught 83 fish. Every kid that
caught a fish received a medal that said "I caught a fish at the RP fishing
derby". 29 of those kids caught their first fish ever.
Josh Lemme brought in the biggest
fish with a fishing derby record of 4.5 lbs. (Josh's
fish). Sarah McDonald was
awarded the Artist of the Year for her drawing she entered and her drawing was
on all the t-shirts that the kids received FREE when they registered. We handed
out over 250 free fishing poles this year. (This
years pictures) Thanks to Brian Pittman we are OK to stock the lake for 5
years and are looking forward to stocking some big trout next year. Look forward
seeing everyone next year! Thanks Ken
Special thanks to
Brian Pittman for saving the fishing derby this
year. We needed a certified Biologist to survey the Roberts lake before we could
get our stocking permit and Brian step forward and did it for free. Brain thank
you for all your time to make sure this event would be a success.
Also special thanks to the Community Voice for finding Brian.
Brian reads the Voice and heard that we needed a biologist If it was not for
readers like Brian, the fishing derby would be cancelled. Sign up today for you
copy of the
Community Voice here. You never know who reads the Voice might just be the
next person that can help you. Power to the Press! |
