The Sky Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited will host its annual free fishing day for kids 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, April 23, at Lake Tye.

Children 12 and under will be able to fish for free in a netted area at the south end of the lake, located off Fryelands Boulevard on the west side of Monroe.

People can bring their own gear, or use fishing equipment provided by Trout Unlimited at the event.

An adult fishing derby will follow from 2-5 p.m., with a $250 cash prize for the biggest fish and $500 bonus prize for anyone who catches a special tagged fish. The entry fee for the adult derby is $10.

There will be $6,000 worth of fish at the event, ensuring everyone will have a chance to make a catch.
