Registration is now open for the 2026 City of Belleview Youth Fishing Derby, a long-standing community tradition that promotes outdoor fun and family participation.
The derby will be held Saturday, April 4, 2026, at Lake Lillian and is open to young anglers of all skill levels. Participants will compete in two age divisions: ages 9 and under, and ages 10–15.
Awards will be presented in each division for Biggest Fish, Smallest Fish, and Most Fish Caught.
Check-in and bait distribution begin at 8 a.m., followed by fishing from 9 a.m. to noon. After the derby, families are invited to a community cookout at the Belleview Community Center beginning at noon.
The cookout, hosted by the Belleview Police Department, will include the awards ceremony and provide an opportunity for residents to connect with local officers while celebrating the young anglers.
