Additionally, participants can turn in their longest fish to a recreation attendant by 2:30 p.m. to have it cooked by the resort’s culinary team, the release stated. The “catch and cook” option is $20 per person and will include a side of broccolini, rice and lemon. It will be available for pick-up or dine-in at 5 p.m. at Sandy’s Pub the day of the event.

Following the fishing derby, guests and local residents can take part in the resort’s rubber duck race at 2 p.m. Rubber ducks will be numbered and available for purchase for $5 each. Once the rubber ducks have been purchased, a hotel team member will drop them into the resort’s water fall, and the first three rubber ducks to reach the bottom first will win.

The first-place prize includes a $150 resort credit, second place will receive a $50 resort credit, and third place will receive a complimentary bike rental for the day for up to four people, according to the release. Participants must sign up for the rubber duck races by 1 p.m. the day of the race. The proceeds raised from the rubber duck race will benefit Tahoe-Truckee Toys for Tots, the release stated.
