10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

This day of fun and activities is to introduce children and their families to the sport of fishing, environmental awareness and enjoyment of nature. There will be no charge to the participants, as we wish it to be enjoyed by all families. The focus of this day is to educate and encourage participants about the importance of protecting nature and sport fishing, to ensure a better chance of both surviving tomorrow.

Kids visit a number of educational booths about identifying fish, the rules and regulations about local lakes and rivers, how to tie knots and how to cast prior to fishing for catchable size trout supplied by the Fish Hatchery in Duncan.

Conservation Officers are also there to explain the importance of following the rules. Kids may participate in stocking the lake, catch and release, furthering the education of sustainability. There are fly tying demonstrations and many other fun activities. Each child receives a free hot dog and a drink, as well as a participation prize.
