In Memory of Jr. Fike & Joe Stinger – Inspiring Young Anglers for Life

Bringing kids to the water’s edge to learn, connect, and carry on a legacy of love for fishing and community.

A supportive experience that turns caring into community

Welcome to the Jr. Fike & Joe Stinger Memorial Fishing Rodeo
We are a community-driven organization honoring the legacy of Jr. Fike and Joe Stinger through free trout fishing events for kids in Friendsville, Maryland. Our mission is to teach the next generation the joys of fishing, foster a love for the outdoors, and bring families together — all while keeping the memory of two beloved community members alive.

The pet taxi service made my life so much easier. It’s reliable, and my pet loves the rides. Thank you, PP, excellent service!
