Multi-Generational Fishing Derby

Roswell Park Lake - Saturday, October 19, 8:30 am – 11:00 am

Youth Services is excited to announce a new event: A Multi-Generational Team Fishing Derby.  Craig Fuller with Roswell Area Parks & Recreation has challenged Roswell Rotarians to launch our first derby!  Once checked in, each team will make their own Bamboo Fishing Rod and proceed to the lake!  Adults get a “coupon” for a free Gate City beer and Blessed Family cocktail.  Youth will get a Junior Tackle Box and their bamboo fishing rod.  There will also be an opportunity to earn tickets while fishing which can be spent at the Tackle Shop, where participants can trade tickets for fishing line, bobbers, weights, a pen knife or tweezers, hooks, etc.

Important Information:

  • Catch & Release
  • No Fishing License Required
  • What you may catch in the pond:  Bass, Brim, Catfish, turtles, litter, etc. 

Where: Between the Visual Arts Building and the Lake on the Roswell Area Park Campus
Sign-Up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F49ADAC29ABFAC43-51349028-multi
Fishing Teams: Ideally, a fishing team will have at least 3 members from at least 2 generations… parent-age/child, grandparent-age/child & child, etc.  However, if you want to participate without a team, please sign up!  There will be youth who need adults and adults who need youth for their teams.  RRC, Jim Savage will break the ice and form teams.
Volunteer: In addition to the Derby's amazing committee made up of Priya Crumpton, Becky Nelson, Jim Savage, Mary Trapp, and Craig Fuller - 2 additional amazing committee members are needed. 
Jim is looking for 5 strikingly adept volunteers to help in the Bamboo Rod-making area.
