8:00 AM ROTARY CLUB AND GVRD — Dan Foley Park, Lake Chabot Fishing Derby happens the day after Fishing in the City. The differences are, we pull the net up the day before and our little fishermen are allow to fish anywhere along the lake. We invite special guests from local bait shops to come out and educate our youth on how to fish. We only have a few loaner poles to loan out, so we ask that you please bring your own rods and reels. Let us take care of the bait. Towards the end of the program we have a BBQ for the participants and their families. Its a great day to fish and have fun in our community. It's a free event, so please be sure to pre-register before the event as we can only take the first 100 participants. Preregister online, click on Special Events, and choose Fishing Derby - Sunday 2016, or call Eddie Behle at 648-5317. Registration is required. Location: 1498 N Camino Alto Vallejo |
