The 4th Annual Jason Lewis Youth Fishing Derby kicked off this year without a hitch. Despite the threat of rain we welcomed a field of 85 kids to Squantz Pond State Park in New Fairfield.

I am waiting to get a few pictures back from family members but can say that the event was blessed by lots of fish, beautiful weather, and some fantastic entertainment-thankyou Joe Sabas. There was a number of smallmouth and largemouth caught today but we have yet to break the 1 pound mark. There is a few fishermen that have made the top cut every year. One of them is Mitch's daughter Pam, who claimed second place for the 5 and under age group. She came in first last year.
