Spring is finally here and in anticipation for the fish biting the USDA Forest Service, Dakota Prairie Grasslands, the City of Watford City and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department want you to grab your fishing rod and chair for the 9th Annual Children’s Fishing Derby. Meet at the Watford City Youth Fishing Pond, Saturday, June 8, just east of the Watford City football and track field.
Children ages 13 years and under are invited to toss a line in the pond. Registration begins at 9 a.m. All registrants must be accompanied by a responsible adult and will enjoy a day of free fishing with friends and family. Lunch will be served around 11 a.m.
Bring your fishing pole, tackle box, bait, and enthusiasm to enjoy the outdoors. Dress appropriately and be prepared to have fun with the family.
Fishermen should bring some means of transporting their live fish home after the derby, as there will be no provision for on-site fish cleaning. We ask that everyone park their vehicles in the football field parking lot.
The community of Watford City is again donating generously to provide prizes, food, and peoples’ time to make this a day of family fun.
For more information contact the USDA Forest Service, Dakota Prairie Grasslands, McKenzie Ranger District office in Watford City at 701-842-2393.
