Welcome to Fish Nocona!

Boy Scout Troop 108 is holding a FREE youth fishing derby on June 7th  2008,  the first Saturday of June. The event will be held at Benton Park on Lake Nocona.  Benton Park is located on the northwest shore of the lake just off FM 2953.

The derby is being held as part of Montague County’s Sesquicentennial Celebration.  The purpose of the event is to introduce children to sport fishing and the responsibility of caring for our natural resources.  A short talk on the subject will be conducted prior to award presentations.  The derby is also designed to encourage families to participate together in outdoor activities as part of National Kid Fishing month. 

 

The event is open to the public. All area youth ages 15 & under are invited to participate.  The derby is a catch and release event, however photographs are encouraged.
