What’s Hooking the Fun:
Catch & Keep (or Release!): Bring your own gear, and we’ll provide the bait.
No Gear? No Problem: If you don't have equipment, we’ve got plenty of gear to get you started!
Show Off Your Skills: Compete in our Casting Contest to see who can hit the bullseye.
Prizes & Surprises: We’ll have door prizes after the fishing concludes.
Kid's Free Lunch: Celebrate a morning on the water with a delicious free meal for all registered participants.

When: Saturday, June 6th
Location: Lake Pahoja - West Shelter
Time: 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Registration: Starts at 8:30 AM sharp, Day-of, on-site
