Metro Detroit Sports & Recreation NewsDetroit, MI - For all kids who love to fish -- or who'd love to give it a try -- Detroit's upcoming Fishing Derby is the event for you.

The Detroit Recreation Department and Hook, Line and Sinker, Inc. will host the 11th annual Detroit Area Kids Fishing Derby on Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lake Frances, on the south side of Palmer Park between Woodward Ave. and Third Street.  The Fishing Derby is open to youth 7 to14 years of age and is sponsored by Detroit Bass Club, Bass Pro Shops, Pepsi, UPS, Safari Club International Detroit Chapter, Youth Sports and Recreation Commission, and Detroit Area Steelheaders.

The Derby is free; however, contestants must furnish their own equipment, natural bait, and be accompanied by an adult.  The Derby is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Each session will consist of the first 500 youth registered.  Morning session registration is at 9 a.m., and derby time is from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.  Afternoon session registration is at noon, and the derby time is from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Prizes will be awarded at the end of each session.

Volunteers are needed to assist with the event.  Sporting organizations, fraternal and community associations and corporations are encouraged to participate.

Registration forms are available at all Detroit Recreation Centers.  For more information, call (313) 833-3299 or (313) 224-1129.
