Kid’s Free Fishing is open to kids age 15 and under. The fishing area will be from the hatchery outlet in Zone 2 (located above the whistle bridge) to the last set of concrete stairs in Zone 3 and will be marked with yellow signs. Adults should not actively fish in the kids only area, but are encouraged to help their children learn the joy of fishing. This area will be stocked heavily with fish and lunkers to ensure kids age 15 and under have the opportunity to be successful. Volunteers will be on hand in the fishing area to assist kids and offer advice on fishing. A free lunch will be provided at Shelter House B (located in zone 2) from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. for children age 15 and under. Free educational events will also take place around Shelter House B (located in Zone 2) from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
