Irvine Regional Kids Derby

Arrived at the lake with my boys at 6am and started fishing at 7am. Overall it was a really good day of fishing for my boys, brother and another friend of ours. My son caught a nice size 5lb trout and won a prize since it was tagged and we left with about 10 trout for the day. My boys primarily threw out powerbait and spinners were effective for may others. The bite was off and on but overall the atmosphere was great and park staff was very friendly. I would like to thank the webmaster for all of the work to keep this website going.

Awesome fish, plus a tag “WINNER”. Great way to keep the kiddos in the sport. Great job guys keep it up.

Thanks for the report. I miss when my kids were that small and I would drag them out just like my dad did when I was a kid. Still take them out when I can but very far and few between. Looking forward to grandchildren.

Thanks so much for the comments, my dad never took us to derbies just regular fishing but any time fishing is always a blast.

It's such hard work getting them up early but it's all worth it for sure. Next year my daughter is coming too!
