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.
