The fish pool cost $5.00 to enter for Adults and Kids. One entry per angler. One tagged brook trout will be recorded and released with all of the other trout stocked for the derby. If 1000 anglers enter the fish pool and one of those anglers catches the tagged trout, they will win $5000.00. If no one catches the tagged trout, all of the names of the anglers that have entered the fish pool will be put into a drawing. One name will be drawn and will be awarded half of the money raised in the pool. The other half of the money will be donated to Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. The tag number must match the previously recorded number. If a kid enters the fish pool and catches the tagged trout the money will be put into a savings bond in that Childs name. The winning fish in the fish pool can also place in the Horne Pond Derby. You must be the angler that caught the fish. The money will be awarded at the closing ceremonies.
