The City of Kennewick Recreation Dept hosts its very own Fishing Kids Program Saturday, May 3th, at Columbia Park Family Fishing Pond.  The object of the activity is to develop a program that provides opportunities for urban youth to go fishing. There has been an abundance of positive feedback from the kids, their parents, and volunteers involved in the program.

Mostly the kids complain about not fishing long enough!   Each of the events is created to host from 500 to 1, 200 kids. There is a $5.00 entry fee, and each youth receives a Fishing Kids T-Shirt and Zebco rod and reel.

All youth taking part need to pre-register, although walk-ups will be accepted if there is room. The youth are put into groups of 100-250 and are able to fish for 30-60 minutes (depending on the site). At all times experienced anglers are on hand to instruct and to help both the children and their parents.

The groups of kids involved in the Kennewick Fishing Program alternate between fishing and casting competitions, as well as educational sessions that are hosted by the local fishing groups. There are also information tables available that are run by agencies such as the Fish & Wildlife Aquatic Education Department, the Coast Guard, and other agencies that are in some way related to outdoor activities.  For more information and registration, please visit here.
