Children’s FISHING DERBY R U L E S:

“I caught one THIS BIG!!!!
  • ONLY THE CHILDREN CAN FISH.  (Adults can fish after 12:00 noon.)
  • THE CHILD MUST SET THE HOOK AND REEL IN THE FISH BY HIM OR HERSELF.  AN ADULT MAY HELP, BUT ONLY WITH CASTING THE LINE AND NETTING THE FISH.
  • THEY MUST KEEP AND BRING IN THE FIRST THREE FISH CAUGHT.
  • THEY MUST LIVE IN LAKE OF THE WOODS OR BE ACCOMPANIED BY A RELATIVE OR FRIEND WHO LIVES IN LAKE OF THE WOODS.
  • ALL CHILDREN MUST HAVE LIFE JACKETS ON IF THEY ARE ON THE WATER.

Note: According to Washington Dept. Of Fish and Wildlife all fishermen – age 15 and older – must have a fresh water fishing license.  This applies to anyone fishing on our lake, despite the fact that it is a private lake and we purchase the fish. While the licenses are required by the State, we lack resources to check for compliance
