Join Summit Metro Parks for the Kids’ Fishing Derby. Anglers 15 and younger are invited to cast a line in Little Turtle Pond at Firestone Metro Park. Each kid will receive a $1 prize if they catch a albino channel catfish. Trophies will be awarded for the three largest fish caught.

This program is free and open to the public. Please bring fishing gear. A limited number of rods and reels will be available for use during the derby, and bait will be supplied. Visitors are encouraged to bring lunch if fishing the entire day. Adults are not permitted to fish.
