Fishing Derby 2002

The annual fishing derby at Martin Luther King park had a lower turnout than expected, but everyone that came was rewarded with eager fish and plenty of door prizes.  The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission provided the catfish for the event, and the morning was filled with excited yells as fish were yanked from the depths of the pond.  The subunit provided expert help unhooking fish as well as providing some assistance casting and reeling in fish.
