Trout Unlimited hosting free kids' fishing day, adult derby at Lake Tye


 

The Sky Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited will host a free fishing day 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, April 24, at Lake Tye, off Fryleand Boulevard in Monroe. Children 12 and under can fish for free and earn lots of prizes.

Fish will be in a netted area at the sound end of the lake for easy fishing, and Trout Unlimited asks participants to bring their own fishing gear but will have gear available for use during the event.

An adult fishing derby will be held 2-5 p.m, with a cash prize of $250 for the biggest fish caught and a $500 bonus for anyone who catches a special tagged fish. Entry is $10.

Trout Unlimited is purchasing $5,000 worth of fish for the event.
