About the event

Come “sink your hook in” at Lake Michie as we teach you the basics of fishing. As the Crappie and Largemouth Bass keep biting, feel free to stay longer and see what you can catch! DPR Outdoor Recreation will provide the equipment and bait, though you may bring your own pole if you like; you bring weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes. Youth under 16 must be accompanied by a registered adult. Preregistration is required for all participants.

Ages: Age at least 1 yr but less than 99 yrs,
