The Grand River Conservation Authority and a host of sponsors are again presenting the Shimano Take a Kid Fishing Day at the park here.
Pro anglers will help to answer kids questions and offer them a variety of events that will keep them busy in morning and afternoon sessions, all of which include a free barbecue lunch.
There are limited spaces, so registration in advance is necessary. When children register they can choose six activities from:
– kids casting competition;
– learn about fishing from a biologist;
– rig lures and tie knots;
– fish for rainbow trout;
– archery introduction;
– pro fishing tips and tricks;
– tying a fly; and
– a bait and lure workshop.
All stations will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
The morning session starts with signing in from 8:30 to 9:30am and runs to noon, with lunch. The afternoon session starts with lunch and runs to 4pm. All participants must be supervised by a parent or guardian.
While registration is free, the park admission fee of $4.25 for adults and $2.50 for kids applies.
