🎣 Think you’ve got what it takes to reel in the biggest catch? Let’s find out together at our free Youth Fishing Tournament!
No fishing pole? No worries! We’ll have a few you can borrow so everyone can join in on the fun!
Kids ages 5–15 can cast their lines and compete for a chance to take home a trophy. We’ll have fishing poles and bait available while supplies last (just be sure to bring an ID).
Anyone 17 and older will need a fishing license if they plan to fish alongside the kids. Bring the whole family out for a morning of fun, fresh air, and maybe even a few fish tales! 🐟
