The 2026 Turtle Lake Association Youth Catch and Release Contest was one for the record books. We had so many incredible anglers submit fish, with a total of 18 participants ranging from 3 to 16 years old. Nine different species of fish were caught and released!
It was great to see some new faces this year and really fun to see the young anglers who have entered in the past return with more giant fish. Thanks to all of our anglers for your great entries—we hope to see you again next summer!
