The annual Sawmill Pond Kids’ Fishing Derby is June 5 from 8am to noon.

All kids under 14 are welcome to participate in the free derby. If you don’t have a fishing pole, the guides from Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters will have some loaners.

No lures can be used during the derby. In addition to the fishing derby, the Optimist Club will provide barbecue hot dogs and refreshments.
