Fishing Derby 2026

Linden was hooked on fishing last Saturday afternoon. Residents and families gathered around Wilson Park, baiting hooks and casting lines in honor of Butchie Scoles, a late Linden resident who fished at the pond habitually. There were 4 winners of the afternoon, with the 1st Prize going to Jacob for catching a 13” catfish! It was a fun and relaxing time where even the smallest citizens got to learn something new.
