THE FIRST EVER FENTON LAKE...fall fishing derby has been scheduled for Saturday, October 21, 2023. Registration begins at 7:00 AM at the boat launch area and the entry fee is $10 per person. The contest ends at 2:00 PM, at which time derby prizes will be awarded.
There are $1000 in prize packages from Cabela's, Amanda's Country Store and Hidden Valley Sporting Goods, highlighted by a $400 gift card from Cabela's as the grand prize for the largest fish taken.
Fenton Lake was stocked on August 28th with 500 Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout in the 18-to-30-inch range (brood fish from the Seven Springs Hatchery) and most recently on October 6th with 2200 catchable sized Rainbows. Word is that another 2000 fish will be stocked next week prior to the derby.
The weather should be great, and the fish will be plentiful. Mark your calendars and come on out for a fun and rewarding experience.
This event is sponsored by the Friends of Fenton Lake (FOFL), which is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is to raise funds for the improvement of the visitor experience at Fenton Lake State Park. All proceeds from this event will be used for this purpose.
Please share this post with all of your fisher friends.
