It’s hands-on, educational, and a whole lot of fun for all ages!

The beloved Fishing Derby is making its big return to Ashby Pond Conservatory on April 11, 2026. On this special day, the pond will be freshly stocked with hundreds of trout just waiting to be caught!

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or casting a line for the very first time, this event is the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors, learn something new, and maybe even reel in dinner.

Friendly volunteers offering fishing instruction, fun pond education, and fish cleaning demonstrations.

Each session runs 45 minutes. Pre-registration is required (link below); no same-day registration permitted.
