Lake Loramie State Park Catfish Derby
September 1, 2012
The Division of Wildlife and Lake Loramie State Park will be hosting a Catfish Derby on Saturday, September 1st from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the beach parking lot on State Route 362. The Division of Wildlife will be stocking an enclosed channel with 750 catfish so the kids are almost guaranteed a fish to catch. The derby is free to the public and is open to kids ages 17 and under. Parents are welcome to come and help your little one bring in the big fish. Make sure anyone 16 and over have a current fishing license. If you don't have fishing equipment Lake Loramie and the Division of Wildlife will be there with poles and a limited supply of bait for everyone. Come and join us for a morning of fishing fun.
