Calling all kids ages 5 to 15! Come on out to Hidden Lakes Trout Farm and try your hand at fishing. We promise to reel in plenty of excitement! Prizes and trophies will be awarded for the largest fish in three different age categories: 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and 13 to 15.

We will have lots of goodies, including one free container of nightcrawlers per registrant. Even if the fish aren’t biting everyone goes home a winner because each participant receives giveaways and sweet treats!

Two sessions will be offered. SIgn up for one or both sessions:

7 to 9 a.m.
9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

The derby is sponsored by The Nature Foundation of Will County with funds from Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Outdoor Fund.

Fee: $5 per person.
Age: Ages 5-15.
