This year’s event will be limited to the first 100 participants. Each participant will have the opportunity to fish, as well as compete in a casting contest, net some aquatic invertebrates with a biologist and participate in arts & crafts.
The FWC event is funded through donations with the hopes of every youth participant leaving with a fishing pole.
Registration will start in mid to late September. An announcement will be made as the date approaches.
The event’s success is dependent solely upon donations. The FWC would greatly appreciate any help you can offer.
