Fishing Derby Program

The Fishing Derby Program provides a positive fishing experience for beginners of all ages. AGFC partners with organizations such as civic clubs, municipalities, government agencies, churches, schools and nursing homes. Sponsors recruit volunteers and provide a public derby site. AGFC stocks the site with fish and provides technical guidance for the event. To view public fishing derbies in your area, check the schedule below.

Catfish derbies are held between March 15-Oct. 31.
