Riverside County Stocks About 5,000 Pounds of Catfish for Veterans Fishing Derby at Lake Cahuilla on November 14
The annual Veterans Fishing Derby will be held Saturday, November 14, at Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park in La Quinta, Riverside County, California. The Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District (RivCoParks) announced on November 13 that it is stocking approximately 5,000 pounds of catfish for the event.
Community partners support this year's derby: Yellow Mart contributed 3,000 pounds of catfish and prizes, Riverside County Fourth District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez contributed more than 1,000 pounds of fish, and Turn Key Rentals also provided support. Twelve specially tagged fish will be released; anglers who catch one can win Yellow Mart gift certificates, including two valued at $250 and ten at $50, and the tagged-fish prizes remain available beyond the derby if not caught.
The derby takes place at Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park, 58075 Jefferson Street in La Quinta. Gates open at 6:00 a.m., fishing runs from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with final weigh-in at 8:15 p.m., and admission is free.
RivCoParks also said it is expanding year-round recognition of veterans, introducing designated veteran parking signage at all regional parks, open-space areas and interpretive sites.
