The 3rd annual Tingley Beach Free Fishing Derby was enjoyed by over 2000 participants on March 14th.
Louis Maestas of Albuquerque caught the first golden trout of the Derby and chose the Reddington fly rod donated by Charlie's Sporting Goods as his prize.
Ten other anglers who caught golden trout quickly grabbed up the $25 gift certificates donated by Sportsman's Warehouse.
Other prizes claimed included a backpacking fishing reel/rod combo, spin rod/reel combos donated by Sportsman's Warehouse and Charlie's Sporting Goods, numerous fly rods donated by Sportsman's Warehouse and Los Pinos Fly Shop, and spinning reels donated by Quality Baits.
