Cast away your worries and join the fun at Abbeville County’s annual Kid’s Fishing Derby, a springtime tradition designed just for young anglers 15 and under—no fishing license required! Whether your child is new to fishing or already loves the thrill of the catch, this free event is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and make memories on the water.

Kids should bring their own bait, tackle, rod, and reel, and we’ll provide the lake, the fish, and plenty of excitement. Lunch is free for participating kids, with meals available for purchase for ages 16 and up. With prizes, smiles, and a family-friendly atmosphere, the Kid’s Fishing Derby is one event you won’t want to miss.
