Event leaders said it will feature Saturday fishing in various age groups again this year, so be sure to bring the kiddos along. There will also be special needs and nursing home fishing days, which you must pre-register for.
As a reminder, participants are required to provide their own fishing equipment and adults will not be allowed to fish for their children at the Saturday events.
Kids can catch up to six trout, and they must keep all the fish they reel in.
