BROOKLYN FISHING DERBY
Brooklyn’s first fishing derby brought to you by the Brooklyn Urban Anglers Association (BKUA)

This sounds like a ton of fun. What do I need to do to get involved? I can only really participate on weekends.
Thanks in advance.

I saw the poster at 3rd Ward yesterday, and my arm began twitching uncontrollably! I have been in search for something like this since I landed here from Colorado! I’m in!

Beno–
How clever to have an urban fishng event. I hear about you from Paul, and hope all goes well. Being a lover of cities, I am all for combining sport of any kind with our urban lives. Recently spent time at Hunts POint Riverside Park in the Bronx for my Award. Cleaning up Bronx River to make it fishable would be a great project! Much Love, Many Hugs, Emily
