Weathersfield Kid's Fishing Event

Past event
Jun 15, 2019, 9 AM to 12 PM

On June 15, the Town of Weathersfield will host a free Fishing Event for kids 14 and under at a private pond. Kids from neighboring towns are welcome. Fishing will take place from 9am to noon, rain or shine, with casting practice before starting at 8am. This event is part of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Children's Fishing Program, designed to give kids the opportunity for a fun and successful fishing experience. The department provides 8"-10" stocked trout for the kids to test out their angling skills. Educational stations will also be provided, staffed in part by members of the Windsor High School Bass Fishing Team. Kids will learn about fish location/identification, baiting, casting, and food preparation. The Team will also offer a fish cleaning station so that kids can take home their catches ready to eat. Bait has been generously provided by Tillman's Bait Shop, a local business. Refreshments will be available. Families wishing to participate should bring a rigged fishing pole with tackle and a bucket or stringer. Some donated equipment is available for those who don't have it. Pre-registration is required by June 1. Fifty participants will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
