Fishing Derby

Its a fisherman's dream come true. The oldest fishing derby on the West Coast will once again be highlighted at the Rio Vista Bass Festival. This year, anglers will be able to choose between two fishing contests on the same ticket.

Kids Derby

This is a family event and we welcome young anglers, up to but not including 16 years of age.  Kids will be fishing for catfish and striped bass.

*Target Length will be drawn at the start of the Derby for both Striped Bass and Sturgeon.
