2024 Rohnert Park Fishing Derby Recap.

The 39th annual Rohnert Park Fishing Derby was full of fun and smiles. Particpants caught 231 fish in 120 minutes, which is almost 2 fish a minute, and is the second-most caught in derby history, as last year 280 fish were caught. Each child who catches a fish earns a medal, and this year 120 different kids caught a fish, which is the most ever for the Derby. 30 of these kids caught their first fish ever, earning them a certificate as well. Each Derby there is a contest for The Artist of the Year, whose artwork is featured on the official t-shirts, and this year’s artist was Aria Panizzera. Aria also received a plaque, and lots of applause at the end of the Derby. (Anyone 15 or younger can enter next year’s Artist of the Year contest. Go to www.fishing-derby.org for information.) The biggest fish, a two-pound trout, was caught by Wyatt Leslie, who brought home a trophy. Also BIG thank you for all my awesome volunteers that help run the derby and make me look good. : ) Thank you all, as I could not put this event on with out all of you. Jill Zschach, Scott Courier, Steve Sanderson, Joe Fong and Lisa Myhre.

Remember there are still fish not caught and l’m looking forward seeing you next year at the 40th annual fishing derby. : )
