The Edge News
Fort Bliss CYSS and the Ascarate Fishing Club will conduct a free fishing tournament for youth ages 3-16 Saturday, May 26 at Ascarate Lake.
The tournament will begin at 7:30 a.m. on the east pavilion of the lake and conclude at noon. On-site registration will run from 7:30-10:30 a.m. at the Fort Bliss CYSS tent. All registered youth will be treated to free hot dogs, chips and drinks. All registered youth will receive free T-shirts, as well. Prizes will be awarded in three age categories.
The lake will be stocked with native fish prior to the event. Bait and 350 rods and reels will be on hand to borrow from the club with a photo ID card. The tournament will be open to the entire El Paso youth community. Because this is an educational venture with the Ascarate Fishing Club, a "catch and release" policy will be enforced with tournament participants.
Adults age 17 and older must have a Texas fishing license to fish in the lake.
The tournament is sponsored by Price's Creameries, Kohl's and Academy Sports and Outdoors.
While the tournament is free, all guests must pay the $1 per car Ascarate Park admission fee to enter the park. Only cash is accepted. Ascarate Park is located at 6900 Delta Drive in El Paso.
For more information, call (915) 755-0983 or (915) 751-3891.
