Yuletide Trout Derby at Gibson Park
You've open the presents, ate the ham and watched your favorite holiday movie for the 100th time...now what?

Bring your fishing poles for a fun and educational day at the Gibson Park pond. Staff will share fishing tips and tricks and visitors will enjoy a demonstration of how to properly prepare and clean a fish for cooking.

Fishers can catch up to seven trout per day with no bait restrictions and no minimum size limits. Visitors will need a basic North Carolina fishing license, which can be purchased online, or by calling 1-888-2HUNTFISH (1-888-248-6834) or by visiting one of more than 1,000 Wildlife Service Agents located across the state.
Gibson Park, located at 5207 W. Wendover Ave., received 900 surplus trout by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission on Wednesday, Dec. 14. The park was one of 40 locations across the state selected to receive brook, brown, and rainbow trout 10 inches or longer.
