Children's Fishing Derby Action, 2004

The Children's Fishing Derby Program began in the 1970s with Hackettstown Fish Hatchery personnel stocking about 10 ponds each year with bluegill sunfish. Today approximately 90 derbies will receive fish, with channel catfishand black crappies being added to the stocking mix.

The purpose of the program is to help bring the joys of fishing to the youth of the state by enhancing existing populations of fish in derby ponds. Below are some pictures illustrating the results of this effort. For more information on the program see the Children's Fishing Derby page.
