Gone Fishing!!

There is a great event on Saturday at Lake Fairfax that is sponsored by the New Horizon Bass Anglers Foundation .

It's a great way to introduce your little ones to fishing. The event begins at 8am and is over by noon. Kids will get an opportunity to fish with the assistance of proficient anglers (fishermen). A fishing license is required for this event. A day, fresh water fishing license can easily be acquired online through the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. They accept Visa and Mastercard only. Just print the license and keep it on your person during the event.

If you decide to attend this event, you should get there early. Don't worry if your child doesn't have a rod, the Anglers will provide a rental for free. A short seminar will follow the fishing to give kids an overview of the importance of caring for our natural resources.

Pre-registration is requested but not required. You may register at the derby on the same day!

It is recommended that you bring water and snacks for the event. A light lunch will be provided to all registrants who sign-up before noon. The lunch consists of a hot dog, a cold drink and a piece of fruit. For more information on the event please click here.

I hope you get to attend this event! I'd love to hear about your experience!
