Great Showing at the Annual Fishing Derby
On June 1, 2024, the Black Kettle National Grassland and the Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce hosted the 32nd Annual Youth Fishing Derby at Skipout Lake this past Saturday. We were blessed with favorable weather and a great showing of youth and their families.
A total of sixty-seven kids from ages 2-16 competed for prizes in categories of the most fish, biggest fish, and casting accuracy. In addition to the standard competition categories, the U.S. Forest Service and Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation tagged 150 fish prior to the event for special prizes for anglers lucky enough to catch a tagged fish.
The participants landed 133 fish representing seven different species. Participants were treated to lunch thanks to the generous donations from numerous sponsors.
