The Great Kansas Fishing Derby returns for the second straight year. Sportsfishing Education Coordinator David Breth says their motivation behind the event was to encourage people to get outside and give them a reason to fish.
This is a state-wide fishing derby, with Montgomery County State Fishing Lake chosen as one of the participating lakes. Others in the area include Santa Fe Lake in Neosho County and Crawford County State Fishing Lake. Breth says there is no need to sign up or register for the event.
For more information on this event, Breth says you can go to ksfishderby.com or the Kansas Wildlife Department Fisheries Facebook page. The derby started this last weekend and will run until September 15th.
