Fishing Kids 2007 - May 5th

Just went online and signed my 3 youngest kids up for the ‘Fishing Kids‘ program that is being held in Kennewick on May 5th. I signed up early enough this year that we were able to sign up for the 9:00 slot. It only costs $5 per kid and they are given a ‘Fishing Kids” T-Shirt and get to keep the Zebco rod and reel and any trout they catch.

The program is put on across the state by the Department of Fish and Wildlife between April and June. Its primary goal is to give kids an opportunity to go fishing.

As part of its effort to “Get more kids fishing, more often,” the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation have teamed with businesses, organizations and volunteers from all over Washington to provide about a dozen fantastic fishing opportunities for children ages 5 to 14.

The kids are really looking forward to go again this year. Last year was our first and the kids had a blast. Kirsten, as you can tell from the photo, was not too comfortable holding her fish, but she was proud that she caught the largest.

Pre-registration is required, and the number of kids per event is limited, so if you have a child between 5 and 14 years old, get them signed up now.
