The 28th annual Junior Fishing Derby along Paiute Creek and the Susan River, rescheduled after fast-moving water made conditions hazardous for young anglers earlier this year, has been rescheduled for this Saturday, August 5th.
Kids ages 2 to 15 are invited to come enjoy a beautiful morning of fishing, both in Memorial Park and along the river, at the Lassen Sportsmen’s Club sponsored event. The derby is co-sponsored by the City of Susanville, the County of Lassen and the SIR Tribal Business Council.
The busy morning starts at 5:00 with registration and check-in at the park. Registration and check-in end at 9:00a.m.
Derby prizes will be awarded after the 3:00p.m. close of the event, and winners don’t need to be present to win. Kids shooting for the ‘largest fish’ prizes should be off the river by 2:45p.m. and must be in line for weigh-in by 3:00p.m to qualify. Door prizes will be drawn at the same time and for these winners must be present.
