Kids' Trout Fishing Contest Pascack Brook

[hofnodinstructor]

The 21st annual Kids' Fishing Contest, sponsored by the Friends Of The Pascack Brook, will be held on Saturday April 20 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine.

All children between the ages of 4 and 16 are invited to fish the Pascack Brook between St. John R.C. Church in Hillsdale and Brookside Place in Westwood.

There is no advanced registration or fee. In order to compete for trophies, prizes and other awards, all trout caught the day of the contest should be measured and recorded at the police booth in Hillsdale during contest hours.

All club tagged fish caught will be awarded prizes during contest hours only.

Any child who wants to help stock the brook with fish should be accompanied by an adult and meet in the parking lot of St. John R.C. Church or the ball field by Brookside Place in Westwood at 7 a.m. the day of the contest. It would help to bring a clean spackle bucket to help stock with.

The Hillsdale Fire Department will host a free pancake breakfast the day of the contest on the second floor of the firehouse from 6 to 11 a.m.

Westwood Elks Lodge 1562 will serve hamburgers, hotdogs and soda from 11:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. They are located at 523 Kinderkamack Road.

Anyone wishing to donate may send contributions to: Friends Of The Pascack Brook, P.O. Box 84, Hillsdale, NJ 07642.
