Larwill’s Forest Ridge Park hosted their 3rd Annual Fishing Derby at Blakley’s Elder Road Pond on Saturday, July 11, 2009.
Eric Bolt, DNR Conservation Officer, greeted 13 kids, and stayed to help measure fish. Each child caught as many fish as possible in the hour’s allotted time, and the “fish inches” were tallied.
Austin Bolt had the most “fish inches” with an 18” total. Jacob Bolt finished second with 12 “fish inches.” At top, are Austin Bolt and Jacob Bolt.
All participants were treated to hot dogs, chips, and pop, and each were given an FRP Dollar to spend in the Camp Store.
Located just outside Larwill, camping is available at Forest Ridge from May 15 to October 15 each year. For additional information or to make reservations, call 327-3551.
