Fishing together with your child and family can build some powerful memories, so make this a summer to remember! Don’t know how to fish? No problem. There are plenty of on-site volunteers providing assistance at the many statewide kids fishing events scheduled in spring and summer. These events take place in locations where kids are likely to catch fish and are surrounded by people with like-minded interests, which help reinforce the positive experience.

The Public Fishing Area holds kids' fishing events during the fall, summer, and spring seasons to encourage youngsters under the age of 16 to participate in the sport of fishing. Two ponds stocked with channel catfish are reserved for this event. Youngsters may catch and keep up to five fish.
