There are a number of small lakes in the Riverside/San Bernardino area. This weekend, the state department of Fish and Game has stocked the lake at Fairmount Park in Riverside with two tons of catfish. On Saturday, the Family Fishing Derby will be held. One of those fish has been tagged with a certificate for $1,000. There will be other prizes given at the fishing derby. The Family Fishing Derby will be held from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. it will be Dad's Day at the Park. Bring your fishing poles and bait. Children younger than 15 can fish without a license. You can register today at the Riverside Parks Department headquarters, 3936 Chestnut Street or at Fairmount Park from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Saturday. For more information call 951-826 - 2000/
