Kids Get Hooked on Fishing Derbies
Dr. Jim Morgan attended the Kids’ Fishing Derby sponsored by the Kiwanis Club at Lake Maloya near Raton on Saturday, June 5. Jim was representing both the Enchanted Circle Chapter of Trout Unlimited and Sierra Club. He donated 15 Sierra Club rod and reel combinations and 10 TU kids’ memberships. There was a good turnout, and many fish were caught.
The Kids’ Fishing Derby at Eagle Rock Lake on June 5 attracted about 75 children along with quite a few parents and grandparents. The youngsters won 15 Sierra Club backpacks, 14 Zebco rod and reel combinations, and a few T-shirts donated by Sierra Club. In addition, the first- and second-place winners of the 10- to 11-year-old casting competition won Sierra Club fly-fishing outfits. The fishing was not as good as at Lake Maloya, but everyone had a good time.—Eric Patterson
