Kids' Fishing Derby

Children of all ages are invited to participate in the Kids' Fishing Derby sponsored by State Representative David Welter with the Illinois Conservation Police and T.E.A.C.H.  Outdoors to be held at the Heidecke Lake Fishing Bank located at 6350 E. Collins Road in Morris from 9 am - noon on October 2nd.
Our Fishing Derby is a great way for kids to learn how to fish or practice their skills if they have fished before.  I invite every family to come out and enjoy an early autumn morning outdoors with us at beautiful Heidecke Lake.

The first 50 kids to arrive will receive a FREE rod/reel combo set, courtesy of the Future Angler Foundation.  Free t-shirts will also be offered.

The Illinois Conservation Police will give a Water & Boat Safety presentation at 9am.  Youth Ambassadors and the Youth Council from T.E.A.C.H. Outdoors will be on hand to help bait hooks and reel in fish.  Brochures on state and local programs will also be available.
Prizes will be awarded for Biggest Fish and Most Fish in addition to a Sportsman Award.
