Saturday kicks off inaugural veterans fishing derby at Lake Cahuilla
Fourth District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez hosted the inaugural Lake Cahuilla Veterans Fishing Derby on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. Just the showing of people today was amazing, we had over 300 people registered and then there were many others that came out just to support our veterans, said Sup. Perez.
Both kids and adults competed separately for prizes ranging from Palm Springs Aerial Tramway tickets to restaurant gift cards and golfing passes. There’s 3 different categories. There is catfish, there’s trout and what they consider other, which would be your bass and carp. Each one of those categories, the longest fish wins that category in both adult and youth 16 and under, said Desert Valley Outdoors founder, Julian Rangel.
