Fish for the Future is back in 2012 and this is going to be the TENTH year! Many thanks to dedicated anglers for supporting the event over these years.

This year's Fish for the Future will happen on Saturday July 14th from 10:00am to 2:00pm. The event venue is still at the No. 2 Road Pier (London's Landing), which is located at the southern end of No. 2 Road in Richmond.

FREE fishing activities for kids under the age of 16! All equipment provided, FREE juvenile fishing licences available at the event. FREE fly casting and fly tying lessons for all ages. Educational, game booths, and much more! No registration required, just show up!

I'm looking for volunteers as usual. We need people to help out with the setup before the event at 8:30am. We need a few bodies to help out kids on the dock during the event (baiting hook, untangling lines, etc). I'd like to keep the fly tying booth going and if the SSBC is interested, this can be your booth with displays and donation jars. We need someone to man the aquariums so the fish don't go belly up under Chrome Mykiss' watch.

If you are interested to help out, post a reply or send me an email at info@fishingwithrod.com. Bring your kids out!

You won't be able to find out because you have to clean up the Vedder that day remember?

I was coming after it was done for a free dinner or maybe take a cleanup off.

Put me down as a tentative yes. I just have to figure out child care as my wife will be out at a wedding shower. My eldest may want to join me but the youngest is only 3 and will be a handful.

Sounds good Dave. It'll be good to catch up. Just give the 3 year old to Dragonspeed and let him babysit, he won't be doing too much that day anyway.

Still looking for more volunteers.

Due to a lack of volunteers, this will be my last year hosting this event so come on out and enjoy it while it lasts.

That's unfortunate, it is such a well received event.

Sorry Rod, I would have had I known before today, missed the postings. However I will post your request on a couple of other mailing lists.

lets see what we can do!

edit

Ah, might be able to make it, will be in contact soon.

[Rodney]

Thanks all. I still need a couple more people to help out with writing up juvenile fishing licences for kids who arrive on the day, a few more volunteers are needed to help out on the floating dock.

Bump, still looking for volunteers.

Pacific Angler will be hosting the fly casting sessions at this year's event.
