Kids have fishing opportunity June 1

Posted

Kids are invited to “get hooked on fishing” at the annual Kids Fishing

Day event Saturday, June 1. The event will take place at the CCC Ponds 3 miles north

of Pinedale. Parents are invited to come and share in the fun and maybe learn a thing or

two themselves.

There will be short educational activities, lunch and the opportunity to catch rainbow

trout, grayling and brown trout in the pond. Some fishing gear and worms will be available

if needed. The entire event is free of charge.

All kids age 13 and under are invited to participate in this event. Registration is from

9:45 a.m. to 10:10 a.m. at the CCC Ponds parking area. The event will start promptly at

10:10 a.m.

To get there, take the road to Lakeside Lodge at Fremont Lake and follow the signs for

CCC Ponds. The local Trout Unlimited chapter will provide a free hotdog and hamburger

lunch. The event will conclude at 2 p.m., but kids are welcome to stay and fish at their

leisure.

Topics for the educational activities typically include fish identification, fly and spin

casting, fish anatomy, and fish habitat. “The kids seem to enjoy the fish anatomy and fly

casting stations the most,” says Pinedale Fish Supervisor and event coordinator Hilda

Sexauer.

Saturday is also Free Fishing Day across the state of Wyoming. Anyone may fish

without a fishing license or Conservation Stamp on free fishing day, Saturday, June 1. All

limits and other fishing regulations apply. More details on Free Fishing Day are listed in

the Wyoming fishing regulations booklet and on the Wyoming Game and Fish website.

There are Kids Fishing Day events planned across Wyoming in celebration of National

Fishing and Boating Week. Sponsors of the Pinedale event include Upper Green River

Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Town of Pinedale, Wyoming Game and Fish Department,

Bridger-Teton National Forest and Bureau of Land Management.
