Joe Scholtz Memorial Free Fishing Derby
The fishing derby is held during the Saturday of Michigan's summer free fishing weekend, which in 2025 is June 7. This event has been hosted with great success for more than twenty years!

Joe passed away in 2011. Hundreds of people typically visit the Pine River in St. Louis's Leppien Park to try their hand at landing the biggest fish.
