Description:
The US Forest Service will be sponsoring their Kids Fishing Day on Saturday, May 4th. The annual event starts at 8 AM at Pandapas Pond.
Kids under 16 can fish for free and enter their catches in the competition. Area Game Wardens will be on hand to measure the fish.
At noon, a whistle will blow and the fishing derby ends. There will be ribbons and prizes for the 1st and 2nd largest fish, the three largest fish combined and the smallest fish.
Giles County Boy Scouts will be cooking hotdogs and serving lemonade (donations appreciated).
This is a free event. Come join the fun.
Note these special regulations:
• Because the pond is stocked with large fish especially for this event, fishing is not allowed after noon on Friday until the event begins on Saturday.
• No one over 15 is allowed to fish on Saturday until the event is over—this is the kids’ day!
• The trail around the pond is closed to all use except the fishing derby from 8 AM –12 PM on Saturday, May 4.
