The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife invites Oregon families to come fishing at one of 36 free Family Fishing events scheduled throughout the state this spring and summer.
These popular events take place in some great places and are typically stocked in advance with a lot of fish. On top of that, ODFW provides loaner rods, reels, tackle and bait, along with helpful tips from experienced angling instructors.
The events are designed to show families how easy and fun fishing can be, according to Shahab Farzanegan, ODFW angler education coordinator.
“Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for a family to experience a successful fishing trip,” he said. “We hope everyone has a good time at the event and discover fishing is an activity they can enjoy for a lifetime.”
There will be two Family Fishing days in Hermiston – the first on April 2 from 10 a.m. to noon at the McNary Channel Ponds, and again on May 14 at the same time and place.
