"We had about 28 young anglers, and a lot of parents came too," said
Roy Logan, Lincoln Park District program manager. Just about
everyone caught really nice catfish, he added. D.A.R.E. gave
bicycles to the boy and girl who caught the largest fish. The young
people who caught the most and the smallest were given prizes too.
Everyone enjoyed hot dogs and sodas provided by D.A.R.E. just prior
to the judging. Harrison Turley and Frank Novak served as judges.
This event coincides with National Fishing Week. Illinois
recognizes this by offering a "no license needed" weekend when
anyone can enjoy the sport of fishing. A fishing license is needed
at any other time of the year.

catfish, and the girl catching the largest fish was Aspyn Cooper,
with a 3-pound catfish. The honors for most fish went to Brandon
Miller, with eight fish, and Samantha Garner, who reeled in five.
Mackenzie Lock and Tim Parker took honors with the smallest fish.
