Klineline Kids Fish-In Event

Annual Event is Reel Fun.

The 11th Annual Klineline Pond Kids’ Fish-In Event is Saturday April 10, 2010.

Klineline Pond is stocked with thousands of trout to give kids the best chance possible of experiencing the “thrill of the catch”.  All fishing gear and bait will be provided, and each child will have the chance to catch, clean and keep up to two fish. While there is no guarantee of a catch, all kids will get a Fishing Kids T-Shirt, and get to keep the rod and reel they fished with!

The Salmon Creek Lions will be there giving out prizes for the best fish caught throughout the day and running the lunch counter. Registration deadline is April 2, 2010 and is by mail only.  Click for the 2010 Klineline Pond Kids’ Fish-In Event Registration, or call Dan Bodell (909-5256) if you are interested in volunteering at this event.

Klineline’s Annual Fishing Kids Event

Catch a Fish, or Two.

It’s almost time for the 10th Annual Fishing Kids Event at Klineline Pond at Salmon Creek Park.  Registration is by mail only and must be received by April 10 for the April 18, 2009  event.

What is Fishing Kids?  Well, it’s a day of fishing fun for kids and their families.  Kids will be given a Zebco rod and reel to fish with, get the chance to catch, clean and keep a couple of fish, and get a commemorative Fishing Kids T-shirt.  They also get to keep the rod and reel they fish with.

If you have never been to a Fishing Kids Event, here is how the day will go.  When you register, you will be given a time slot to fish.  As all fishing gear and bait is provided, so no personal fishing gear is allowed.  Families may go to the fishing spot of their choice, and while parents are encouraged to help their kids fish, the kids should actually be doing the fishing.

Once the limit of two fish is caught, kids will move over to the measuring and cleaning stations.  No catch and release is allowed!

What’s the catch?  Well, like I said, pre-registration is required, and it is limited to the first 1200 kids (ages 5-14).  For more information on youth fishing, visit the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife; or click for Klineline Kids Fishing Event Registration Application.
