"FISHING KIDS" EVENTS
(formerly Kids Klassics)

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 a about a dozen fantastic fishing opportunities for children ages 5 to 14.

These Fishing Kids events take place from April to June, and each provides a day of fishing fun for several hundred kids and their families. For $5 each, kids fishing these events get to catch and keep a couple of fat rainbow trout, they receive a colorful Fishing Kids tee-shirt, and they can KEEP the Zebco rod and reel they're given at the start of the event! Pre-registration is required, and the number of kids per event is limited.

To find out more, and to get a registration form, call the number listed for each event. Good fishing!
