Youth Kokanee Fishing Derby - Green Peter Reservoir

Join us for the 1^st Annual Kokanee Power of Oregon (KPO) Green Peter Kids’ Fishing Derby and BBQ! There will be trophies for biggest fish, smallest Kokanee, and ‘best lure’ for ages 3-6, 7-10, 11-14, and 15-18. Lunch for kids is free, $10 for adult KPO members, and $15 for KPO non-members to help cover the cost of food. If you have some extra gear in your tackle box you can donate it for prizes to kids. So far KPO has over $4,000 in tackle and prizes to be given away!

Please note: this is NOT a typical ODFW workshop. This event is sponsored by KPO and participants are required to bring their own gear, safety equipment, and watercraft if they wish to fish for kokanee offshore. ODFW staff will be present to assist participants and answer general questions
