Cast your rod at Salisbury City Park on Saturday, June 7 during Wicomico Recreation’s Annual Youth Fishing Derby. This free event is open to children 15 and under.

Prizes and trophies will be awarded for the biggest fish, most fish caught, most unusual catch and more.
In preparation for the Derby, the Department of Natural Resources will help stock the pond at Salisbury City Park. Approximately 500 blue gills will join the pond’s current inhabitants including catfish, large-mouth bass, perch and carp.
