There are two age groups for the Kids Fishing Competition. A fishing game for the youth that are younger than the two age categories will be available. Age groups are as follows:
- 5 to 8-year-olds (one parent must stay with the child) from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
- 9 to 12-year-olds from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
The following categories will be judged to determine winners. Trophies and prizes will be given to the youth who wins the category. All participants will receive a participant gift.
- Biggest Fish: Measure and weigh each fish to determine the largest catch.
- Most Fish caught: Count the number of fish caught by each youth.
- Smallest Fish: Measure each fish to determine the smallest catch.
- First Fish Caught: Record the time you catch your first fish.
Please note that there will be no swimming or getting into the water. Youth are expected to respect others when casting and placing a line in the water. There is no running on the decks or around the pond. In case of an accident, there will be a first aid station.
Pre-registration is required to participate. Parents need to sign a permission slip. Parents need to be present for the 5 to 8-year-old group. There will be a limit of 20 youth for each age category.
Please email any questions to Jenny@ByronDaysFestival.org.
We hope you can join the fun and participate. Â
The Youth Fishing Competition, proudly sponsored by Plummer’s Environmental Services, will kick off at Whistlestop Park on Friday, July 25, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. This popular event features two age groups—5–8-year-olds from 6–7, and 9–12-year-olds from 7–8—each capped at 20 participants. Kids will compete in four fun categories—Biggest Fish, Most Fish Caught, and Smallest Fish —while all participants earn a special gift and winners take home trophies or prizes.Â
Safety is top priority: no swimming, no running, and parents are required to accompany younger anglers. A first aid station will also be on-site. Pre-registration is required and forms should be submitted in advance.
Sorry this event is now full and registration is cloded.
