Children crowd the lake's banks during last year's derby
SANATOGA PA – Lower Pottsgrove’s 11th annual fishing derby, sponsored by the township Parks and Recreation Department, opens this morning from 7:30-10:30 a.m. for children from ages 5 to 12 on the lake at Sanatoga Park, 100 S. Sanatoga Rd., Pottstown PA. It’s free, and it’s bound to be fun.
Participants can register as they arrive. They’ll have a chance to catch the biggest and best fish; the lake has been stocked for the event, and prizes will be awarded in several categories. They also will be offered fishing tips and techniques by a representative of the state Fish and Boat Commission.
The general public will be able to benefit from the lake’s stocking, too, but not until after the derby ends Saturday at mid-day. The lake will be closed to all other anglers until then. After that, good luck to all, says township municipal building receptionist Jennifer Corley.
