Youth fishing events help with conservation

Approximately 1,000 youth participated in the 35th annual Catch a Rainbow Derby at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery in Jamestown, Kentucky. Recreational fishing provides opportunities to enjoy and explore the outdoors; an outlet for relaxation; time with families, making memories together; and for some, a source of nourishment and nutrients. Taking part in the nation’s natural pastime also contributes to conservation efforts.
