Saturday’s chilly weather didn’t deter people from enjoying Fairfax City’s annual Fishing Derby at Ashby Pond.

Fairfax City’s annual Fishing Derby was Saturday morning, April 3, at Ashby Pond – which had been stocked with 400 rainbow trout. Forty people participated in each of three sessions, bait was supplied, and Trout Unlimited of Northern Virginia cleaned and bagged each catch.
