SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The Optimists will also be holding their annual Kids Fishing Derby June 9 from 8 a.m. to noon, and this year there will be big Cutthroat Trout stocked by the California Fish and Game. These fish will be coming out of Heenan Lake and will be a chance for kids to catch one of the few native species of trout from the Lake Tahoe area according to a release about the event.

“Sawmill Pond is truly for the kids; the adults are only there to help teach,” said organizer Victor Babbitt. “It's the perfect place to have a picnic while the kid's fish and the smiles abound.”
