2009 Mr. Whiskers Carp & Catfish Fishing Derby
The Oil Region Alliance announces that applications are available for the Mr. Whiskers Catfish & Carp Fishing Derby. Mr. Whiskers is a family-friendly fishing derby for flathead or channel catfish and carp. Anglers of all ages fish continuously from 7 p.m. on Friday, June 26, through 7 a.m. Sunday, June 28. The entry fee for youths under age 17 is $5. The fee for anyone 17 or over is $15. Fishing is allowed anywhere on the Allegheny River or its tributaries, from the bridge at Tionesta to the bridge at Emlenton. Anglers may fish by boat or from shore. Once caught, fish must be kept alive so they may be taken to a designated weighing station and then returned to the water. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three winners, adult and youth, in each species at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 28, at the Oil City Marina.
Applications for the catfish & carp fishing derby are available at the Alliance office located at 217 Elm Street in Oil City. They are also available at many bait and tackle shops. For additional information, call Toni Kresinski, Alliance Events Manager, at (814) 677-3152, ext. 110, or toll free (800) 483-6264, ext. 110.
