Free Fishing Day events
There will be a number of free fishing events Saturday, in conjunction with Free Fishing Day.
No fishing license will be needed to participate. Fishing equipment will be provided at some sites. Division of Wildlife Resources staff and volunteers will be available at all sites to help and provide information.
Special events include:
NORTHERN UTAH
Logan
The Bear River Celebration and Free Fishing Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Willow Park, 419 W. 700 South.
Adults and children can enjoy free fishing at Skylar's Pond.
Volunteers will be on hand to check out fishing equipment and help first-time anglers.
Activity booths for those ages 4 to 18 will be onsite. The first 250 kids and teenagers who visit the booths and complete their "passport to fun" will receive a free T-shirt. The interactive booths will give young people a chance to discover the joys of fishing and learn the importance of good water quality. Kids and teenagers can tie their own fly (wooly bugger), experience how rivers and streams are formed, explore the life cycles of fish, go "buggy over bugs," make fish prints, learn to cast a fishing lure and learn more about "Leave No Trace" program for fishing and camping.
