Get ready for outdoor fun at Farragut’s youth fishing rodeo!

 

On Saturday, May 11, kids ages 12 and under are invited to the 40th annual Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo at Anchor Park for a morning of fishing and competing for prizes. This event is free and open to the public. Register here beginning April 1. There are two timeslots available:

8-9 a.m. and 10-11 a.m.

 

The Town is accepting community donations for the event, including youth and adult spincast (push button) rod and reel combos in good working condition, line, hooks, bobbers and sinkers. Farragut businesses are also encouraged to donate items to be used as prizes for participants.

The Town of Farragut will provide limited worms for bait, and a limited number of fishing poles will be available for use during the event. Poles will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; participants are encouraged to bring their own poles. Participants may also bring their own bait.
