Eugene, OR – According to the ODFW officials, this event is also being sponsored by Lincoln City Parks and Recreation.

The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Regatta Park.

ODFW will stock the lake with 8,700 rainbow trout before the event, including 4,000 fish that will be released in a large net pen reserved for youth fishing.

ODFW staff and volunteers will be present to hand out equipment and be available to teach kids how to bait, cast, and land their catch. Youth will be able to keep two fish from inside the fish enclosure, after which they can continue fishing in the lake until they reach their 5 fish limit.

These events are intended to help families learn how to fish together and get outside.

There is also a great playground at Regatta Park, so pack a lunch and stay a while!

The fishing enclosure is reserved for youth fishing, but adults can get tips on basic rigging, fish identification and casting at the event.

Kids 11 and under can fish free at this event. Youth 12-17 need a youth license, which can be purchased for $10 online.
