Due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns, the Collegiate Peaks Chapter (CPC) of Trout Unlimited Fourth of July Kids Fishing Derby has been canceled for 2020.
The annual event held at Frantz Lake, near Salida, usually draws a crowd of 350 people each year.
Organizer Henry Klaiman said “Even by July 4th a crowd of that size is larger than we can safely plan for in the wake of COVID-19.”
Typically, over two dozen CPC volunteers run the event and the group says it is looking forward to its return in 2021.
The chapter says that even though it won’t be holding the traditional contest this year, it hopes kids still get a chance to get out and fish this summer.
