Welcome to the Official Site for the Douglas County
Kids' Fishing Derby

As a nonprofit, public event, we rely on the help of volunteers to make our Derby a success.
We are seeking an estimated 300 people to aid in setup and tear down, food and retail concessions, river help, bait & tackle, and fish weighing/cleaning.



We also need friendly faces to stand at each gate to receive session tickets and hand out gate prizes, as well as in our parking lots to help direct parking and greet the public as they enter the event.

For more information, Please Contact our Volunteer Coordinator:
Danny Lozano
