The Iola Police Department is sponsoring the 18th annual “Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs” fishing tournament Saturday at Abbott’s Pond.
Registration begins at 8 a.m., rules and briefings begin at 9 a.m. and fishing will start immediately afterward — there is no cost for those fishing. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bait, fishing rod, supplies and drinks. Lunch will be served at 11 a.m., when the fishing concludes. Participants may park at Grace Lutheran Church, 117 E. Miller Rd., or Cameron Manufacturing, 25 W. Miller Rd.
Awards will be given to the first, second and third places in each age category (2-8, 9-12 and 13-17 years old). Prizes will be given for the smallest fish, most fish caught and largest fish. Participants can pre-register at www.cityofiola.com.
