Some of those who enjoyed the 2011 Bill Yarlott Derby
We hope you’ll join Friends of Moran this year as we celebrate the 15th Annual Bill Yarlott Fishing Derby this Saturday, April 28.
It’s a great way to celebrate opening day for fishing season and a rite of passage for so many kids. Last year roughly 20 kids come out in the mist around Cascade Lake to catch their first or biggest fish. Thanks to Phillip Miller everyone enjoyed some hot coffee, cocoa and delicious pancakes!
The event starts at 7 a.m. with a hot breakfast and coffee or cocoa. You can expect to find Philip Miller, flipping pancakes and reminiscing about how much kids have grown over the 15 years he’s been involved.
Kids can hope to catch Kokanee, Cutthroat and Rainbow trout from Cascade Lake. Prizes are awarded at 11 am.
A special thanks to our local sponsors Orcas Outfitters and Kings Market who support this annual event and provide some fantastic prizes.

I wasn’t aware that cutthroats had been planted for several years….
What a great event! Bill Yarlott’s son Dave and grandson Brooks are coming from Seattle to participate again this year. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible :)
