Kids' Fishing Day
15th Annual Kids' Fishing Day - July 23, 2005 Seven Springs Fish Hatchery
Every summer, national forests across the United States celebrate our connection to rivers and lakes with National Fishing Day. The purpose of this day is to introduce young children to the joys of fishing while promoting good fishing ethics and exposing them to a variety of conservation related issues.
On the Santa Fe National Forest, a free fishing day is offered to kids who haven't reached their teens. The Jemez and Cuba Ranger Districts and Seven Springs State Trout Hatchery host this educational fishing event that annually attracts nearly 200 kids.
For further information about upcoming events, contact your local ranger district.
