4,900+ POUNDS OF FISH ARE HEADED TO LAKE CAHUILLA!

We’re going BIG for our Veterans Fishing Derby this Saturday, November 14, at Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Yellow Mart and V. Manuel Perez , we’re stocking approximately 4,900+ pounds of catfish in celebration of our nation’s heroes, this Thursday! The lake will remained closed until the Veterans Fishing Derby!

And there’s more! Thanks to YellowMart, 12 specially tagged fish will be swimming in the lake, giving lucky anglers a chance to reel in some exciting prizes!

2 tagged fish - $250 gift certificates

10 tagged fish - $50 gift certificates

The best part? These tagged-fish prizes will remain available beyond the derby, so the excitement doesn’t end Saturday!

A HUGE thank you to Yellow Mart and V. Manuel Perez for helping us make this year’s derby extra special and for supporting our mission to honor veterans through outdoor recreation.
