2021 Youth Fishing Derby

The 2021 Youth Fishing Derby, presented by Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and the Friends of Iroquois NWR runs from June 1 through June 7, 2021. The event will be practiced northern pike style…more solitary, staying close to your own territory, and not gathering in a large group.

How can you participate this year?
– Create and submit any form of original fish or fishing “art”.
– Go fishing! Take a picture of you and your fish, you fishing, your creative fishing gear, or whatever other fun fishing related experience you have during this event.
– Complete as many activities as you can in the Let’s Go Fishing Junior Ranger Activity Book (can be printed from here or picked up from the Iroquois NWR Visitor Center).
