Stark Parks Fishing Derbies --Rangers to Host Three Fishing Tournaments

(March 13, 2024) – Stark Parks, in partnership with the Stark County Federation of Conservation Clubs and Berkley Fishing Team, is hosting free derby events as part of the 2024 fishing derby circuit.  Kids (Ages 4-15) can join the circuit with a chance to fish for prizes at derbies held through the spring and summer.  Attendance at each derby will earn one entry into a drawing to win a cash prize from the Berkley Fishing Team.

One free fishing pole will be given to each child participating in a derby throughout the circuit by the Stark County Federation of Conservation Clubs while supplies last. Prizes and trophies are awarded at each derby for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in various age groups.  Fishing starts at 8:00 AM for each of the circuit events.  Visit StarkParks.com/Derbies for information on all 2024 fishing events.
