4th of July Kids’ Fishing Derby

Registration for the 2025 Frisco, Colorado Kids’ Fishing Derby is full.

The fishing derby will take place on Friday, July 4, 2025 at Meadow Creek Park (828 Meadow Drive, Frisco, CO) from 8:00am – 9:00am. The Town of Frisco partners with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to bring this July 4th fishing derby tradition to kids and their families each year in Frisco. The pond is stocked with fish.

Fishing Derby Details and Tips

• This is for youth up to 14 years of age.
• Kids should bring their own fishing poles. The Frisco Bay Marina does rent fishing poles if you do not have your own. The Marina is open from 8:00am – 7:00pm seven days a week during this time of year so you would need to rent and pick up the day before the event.
• Bait is not recommended.
• Catch and release is strongly encouraged. Please de-barb your hooks, as it will make releasing fish much easier and better for them.
• The top five kids overall who catch the largest fish will receive a prize and have their picture taken for submission to the Summit Daily. Only one prize per child will be awarded for the top five; there will be no age category winners, just overall.
• There will be a few adult volunteers who are passionate and knowledgeable about fishing at the event to help as needed and to measure fish.
• Please keep your pets on leash or leave them at home. Rufus wouldn’t like getting a hook in his paw, and splashing dogs make it tough to catch the biggest fish!
