Join us for the second annual FoLAR Fish Derby – “Off Tha’ Hook”. Our
event will take place on September 5th, which is one of the “Free”
fishing days, as per U.S. Fish and Wildlife who govern fishing on the
river, “Free” meaning, no license is needed on this day so it is open to
all. Our event is a Catch & Release with an experienced angler
contest ($50 Registration Fee – Limited Spots) and a No Cost Kids Fish
where anglers teach kids stewardship of fishing. Anglers who stick
around to help with the Kids Fish will have their registration fee
discounted. Jim Burns, who runs the blog LA River Flyfishing and avid LA
River angler will be on hand as a consultant. We will have Biologists
at the event as well to weigh, measure and catalog every fish prior to
releasing back into the LA River to serve as an addendum to our
2008 Fish Study. This event is also designed to promote Stewardship of Fishing on the Los Angeles River.
