Took eight year old #2 grandson last month to Vancouver's Kleinline pond
kids day. It costs $5 and advanced day registration was required where they
gave you a time to show up. They had strung floating nets throughout the
swimming area which had thousands of trout dumped in over night. Starting at
8:00AM and on the hour to 4:00 PM they turned loose 200 kids per hour. Each
kid was given a T shirt, Zebco rod and reel, line, bobber, weight, and lots
of Power bait. Each kid had 45 minutes to catch up to two trout. Parents
could only help bait the hooks and take off the trout. You could not use
any personal tackle - including Wiggle Rigsgroan

There was food tents, US Army recruiters, Fish and Game staff, volunteers,
lifeguards, fishing stores and lots of happy, excited kids. I was surprised
just how well it was organized and how smooth it ran. When the fat lady
blew the whistle on the air horn at 45 minutes after the hour, people
streamed back on the bank and when she blew the whistle and yelled "Start
Fishing" a new hoard ran to the fishing area and started casting.

You all should have a good time.
Good luck!

I'm entering my 9 year old Grand daughter in a "kids" fishing tournament
Saturday. The City released 8,000 lbs of bass and catfish in the city park
lake for kids to fish it Saturday. Anyone every been to one of these ? I
really don't have a clue about what we are going to be doing or how all
this works.
