Catch a Rainbow Fishing Derby coming up next month

The Catch a Rainbow Fishing Derby at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery returns next month.

The popular children’s fishing derby is back on Saturday, June 3rd for its 35th edition. The derby made a return one year ago after being canceled in both 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event is free for children up to age 15. Typically, the fishing derby brings between 3,000 and 4,000 people to the fish hatchery.

Friends of Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery is seeking help with donations for the event. You can find more information on the group’s Facebook page here or by calling 270-343-3797.
