Fireman’s Pond on Route 515 was actively into the spring fishing season on Saturday April 13 as the annual fishing derby was sponsored by the PAL, Vernon Township and Double V Rod and Gun Club.
Excited youngsters were casting, baiting hooks and having a ball catching bass and catfish stocked into the pond on Thursday before the Saturday derby.
The derby offered two sessions of fishing including boys and girls from Grades K to 2 and Grades 3 to 6.
Trophies were awarded for the smallest fish, the biggest fish and the most caught total by one child.
Of course, all fish were catch and release.
