Roger's Outdoor Notes

38th Annual Two Rivers Fish Derby will be held on July 15-16-17, 2016 and it’s looking like it will be a banner year for fishing. For over 37 years this derby has been held with over $45,000 in cash and prizes being offered. Derby Headquarters is at Walsh Field with a great line up of entertainment and food for everyone. Friday fish must be registered from 9am to 10pm, Saturday 9am to 10pm and Sunday from 9am to 12pm. Registration closes at 12pm Sunday.  Good Luck to all fishermen.

Across this great country the Dept. of Natural Resources are making fishing equipment available to youth for free to try out fishing as a way to see if they would be interested in doing something wild. Today’s youth are spending too much time behind a computer screen and not getting outside like many of us. It would be nice to see or even hear of a program that will make kids get up off the sofa and go outside to enjoy the great outdoors, even if you do live in a city. Libraries offer many wonderful opportunities for the youth to see and enjoy what life is like outdoors by looking at videos or reading about it. Parents need to find a way to get their kids outside instead of buying them more toys to sit on their behind. So with that being said, grab the kids and go down to the many derbies across the state and show your children what it’s like to catch fish and enjoy the outdoors.
