Title: Learn to Fish Family Programs July 26, 27
Post by: Every Day on July 09, 2013, 10:14:21 AM
We have the following days (as listed in the title) available to families for Learn to Fish programs! July 26: 12 pm to 3 pm, and Saturday July 27: 12 pm to 3 pm.

If anyone is interested in one of these Learn to Fish programs or Open Fishing give us a call at the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery (604) 504-4716 or email at visit.fraservalley@gofishbc.com.

Programs are both $10 a piece per person - parents are welcome for free if they don't want to fish.

The Learn to Fish program is 3 to 4 hours long and covers a little bit about the society, a hatchery tour (feed some sturgeon, char and trout), rod rigging and knot tying, casting, and one hour of fishing on our heavily stocked ponds. It is a perfect way of getting people into fishing - either kids or adults newer to the sport! We adjust the program based on age of the people attending.

The Open Fishing is just 2 hours of fishing down at the ponds with one of our staff to help you out. Having attended a learn to fish program is preferred before we book you into one of these! Great way to spend a few hours with the kids as they are sure to catch some fish!

All gear and tackle is provided, but feel free to bring your own.

Cheers,
Dan

Any age! All children and adults are welcome! The learn to fish program however is targeted at children 5 to 15. Any younger and it will be kind of tough to keep them interested.

The 2 hours of open fishing is $10 per person fishing!

Ok, do you fish the pond and release the fish for the two hours?

Last week my son 6 and daughter 5 both attended the learn to fish program at Fraser Valley Hatchery.  It was a great time and they both landed several fish and we both stoked.
