2019 Kid's Fishing Derby Recap2019 Kid's Fishing Derby The Kelly Lake Sportsman’s Club held its 7th annual Kids Fishing Derby on Sunday, June 2, 2019 at Holt Park, Kelly Lake. The derby is held each year on Wisconsin DNR’s free fishing weekend. Bruce Watruba and Cindy Brokiewicz chaired this year’s fishing derby, with club volunteers, helping to make the event fun for 95 kids and their families. Fishing forecast for the 8am start time stayed true with near perfect weather and the kids enjoyed a morning of fishing, a fish contest, bucket raffles, lunch and door prizes. This year a special “Eddie & Janice Watruba Memorial Gift Drawing” took place with a winner taking home a kayak with accessories and also two winners of a 1/2 day pro fishing trip were picked from all registered at the derby. Blue KLSC Kids Fishing Derby t-shirts were given to each preregistered participate along with a bobber, lure, flashlight and a container of worms. It was great to see all the kids wearing their shirts throughout the day. The kids did an amazing job catching bass, perch, blue gill, crappies and northerns with prizes and a fish badge award for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. We even had a club member volunteer to clean their catch of the day. Lunch of hot dogs, string cheese, bottled water, chips, fruit cups and homemade desserts was served. A big thank you to all the kids and their families for participating in this year’s 2019 KLSC Kids Fishing Derby.
