Timber Days Fishing Derby

Here we have the new bridge over the San Lorenzo River on Irwin Way at what is now Barbara Day Park in the 1950s during a Timber Days Fishing Derby.

In 1956, 1000 competitors caught an estimated 2000 trout. Some of the trout had been tagged with a metal tag. If you caught one with a tag, you won a prize. 2002-002-0003
