Rice Lake Family Fishing Day
Posted on June 11th, 2007 by Rodney Hsu, webmaster

The Rice Lake Family Fishing Day is a community event sponsored by the Seymour Salmonid Society, GVRD and the Family Fishing Day Society of BC. It has become quite a popular event. On Sunday June 17th, you and your families are invited to enjoy the educational activities and fishing that event organizers have planned.

Rainbow trout will be released into Rice Lake prior to the event by the hatchery. A limited number of fishing rods will be available for kids to borrow. Stop by the educational booths to learn about the Seymour River watershed and what the Seymour Salmonid Society is doing to improve it.

Fishing with Rod will once again be attending this event. We'll be promoting our upcoming event Fish for the Future as well as providing plenty of information on fishing in British Columbia. Below is a video clip of 2003's event.

Rice Lake is located at the Seymour Conservative Reserve in North Vancouver. It is regularly stocked by the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery with catchable rainbow trout that weigh between 250 and 400 grams. These trout are aggressive and very willing to bite a piece of bait, fly or lure. It is an excellent introductory fishery for entry-level anglers and kids.

Volunteers are needed for the followings:

• Salmon BBQ (Servers, food prep, ect..)
• Event set-up and take down (Tents, table and chairs, signage, ect.)
• Fishing Tackle table (Help beginner fishers with fishing tackle set-up)
• Volunteer and event participant care taker (Bringing food and refreshements to volunteers and event participants through out the day)

Lunch is provided for volunteers. We will meet a 9AM at Rice Lake Security Gate. If you are interested, please contact James Weger.
