The “Statewide Mentored Youth Fishing Day” is a special opportunity for young anglers to experience the joy of fishing alongside experienced mentors. Designed to introduce kids to the outdoors in a fun and supportive setting, this event encourages learning, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for fishing and conservation.
Youth participants will be paired with knowledgeable volunteers who will teach the basics of casting, baiting, fish identification, and safe angling practices. No prior experience is needed, this day is all about learning, having fun, and building new skills on the water.
Fishing areas will be well-stocked to increase opportunities for success, helping create exciting moments for first-time anglers. Families are encouraged to attend and share in the experience, making it a great way to spend quality time together outdoors.
