Good fishing weather brought out many people to the Liberty Conservation Club’s annual May fishing derby on Sunday.
The derby is a big membership drive for the club with participants paying a $20 annual membership fee to try to catch tagged fish that will win you a prize. A few nights before the derby, club members add about 500 pounds of catfish, trout, and panfish to the quarry to make the fishing better, tagging some of them for prizes.
Youth get the first shot at trying to snag a winning fish. Later in the afternoon, adults try their luck.
