A fishing derby is a non-profit organization, small or large group event where participants fish and are actively involved in fishing-related activities.
Although the related activities may be for education, public relations, or even fund-raising, the focus of every fishing derby is the chance for youth and adults to fish in a group setting under controlled conditions at a place that provides a positive, quality experience.
Unlike a tournament or fishing rodeo, where the emphasis is usually on competition and profit, a fishing derby places emphasis on the individual participants and their exposure to fisheries resources and the sport of fishing.
