The Finnegan Lake Walleye Club will sponsor a kids fishing day from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 6, at Finnegan Lake in Gillett. The event is open to kids ages 12 and under, and each participant should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The event is held in conjunction with Wisconsin’s free fishing weekend. The Finnegan Lake Club will provide free hot dogs, hamburgers and soda for the participants and their chaperons.
Prizes will be handed out to participants when they arrive and register at the lake. The final prize drawings will take place at 1:30 p.m. at the boat landing on Finnegan Lake; participants must be present to win.
The fishing derby will be held rain or shine, so come prepared to fish and have a great time. The club will have pontoon boats for the kids and parents to ride on and fish from throughout the day. No swimming will be allowed on the day of the event.
Participants are reminded to bring a life jacket, a lawn chair, and a parent or guardian.
Individuals or organizations interested in getting involved may contact Gary Hougas at 920-598-0275.
