Falls of the Ohio Fishing Derby

Enjoy a Month-long Fishing Derby
From the Falls of the Ohio Foundation!

You never know when the fish are gonna bite, especially with water as unpredictable as the Falls of the Ohio! So, this year’s Fishing Derby will be a month-long, digital event! When you register, you’ll receive a unique numbered tag in the mail. As you fish be sure to get a picture with your catch, include your tag in the photo, and make sure we can tell you’re at the Falls of the Ohio! Do this with every fish you catch in the month of June. At the end of the month, you’ll submit your one favorite photo to our Fishing Derby Photo Contest. Then, share the contest link with all your friends and family because the winner will be based on most votes – NOT how many or how big your fish is – so be sure to capture the beauty of the Falls and the fun of fishing here in every photo! This event is fun for everyone with prizes for each age group!

Would you rather just attend our Free Fishing Day? Great for all ages you can join the Falls of the Ohio State Park on June 3 for a Free Fishing Day. All you need is a fishing pole and be ready for the fun. We'll have plenty of bait for you here at the Falls on June 3!
