Summer is a special time in Livingston. The Livingston Roundup Rodeo and parade, and boat float to name a few. But for hundreds of children, the highlight is the annual Kids Fishing Derby held at the Lagoon near Sacajawea Park in June.

We coordinate with area hatcheries to introduce over 1,500 rainbow and brown trout into the lagoon. The sizes of fish vary from under 2 ounces to over 4 pounds. Every contestant receives a prize upon registration and hundreds of dollars worth of prizes are given away during our participant drawing after the event. Special prizes are given to the 4 largest fish. All prizes are generously donated by local merchants.

If you would like to contribute funds or prizes, please contact Livingston Fire and Rescue at 406-222-2061.
