Local non-profit For All Ages is hosting this morning event where an adult angler will be paired with a child age 5 to 12 to teach the child how to fish and participate as a team in a fun-filled fishing derby at Walton Pond. For All Ages will award a variety of prizes, including first fish caught, heaviest fish caught, and best fishing themed hat, among others. Participation is limited to the first 20 experienced adult anglers age 40+ and the first 20 youth ages 5 to 12. Worms and fishing tackle will be provided for the youth (adults do not fish); youth may bring their own rod and reel. Registration opens March 1 for anglers; April 1 for youth. Open only to youth who have no or minimal fishing experience and who confirm their commitment to attending. Youth must be accompanied for the morning by a parent or guardian. Drinks and a continental breakfast will be provided.
