Every Spring for the last 20+ years Lewis PUD and a host of community volunteers have hosted a local Kids Fishing Derby on Lake Scanewa located in East Lewis County. Each morning of the derby hundreds of eager youngsters flip a line into the water in hopes of catching "the big one." Throughout the day hundreds of fish are caught with the biggest trout weighing in at about 8 pounds. There are various competitions throughout the day for everyone to participate in. Kids can have their faces painted, learn how to clean fish, and participate in a number of mini-games around the area. The event is also informative. In the past local rangers and community officials have donated their time to help educate families on a number of community related issues like the dangers of invasive weeds in our local waters and woods.
