Kids 12 and under compete in three age brackets. Parents handle the knots and bait; kids do the fishing. Prizes awarded by total catch length, plus categories for first fish, largest, and smallest.

Outdoor pavilion available for bookings. Includes 7 six-foot tables and 6 seven-foot picnic tables. Great room and kitchen also available.
