Kid's Fishing Day - 2007
The National Wildlife Visitor Center
hosted Kids Fishing Day on June 9th, 2007. This yearly event kicks
off the fishing season for Cash Lake. Cash Lake is open to fishing
approximately mid-June to mid-October - more
information here. |
 |
| The Refuge had over 200 young anglers. Along with fishing in Lake Redington and Cash Lake, the kids learned about fishing ethics, fish handling and casting. Many kids caught their first fish here at Patuxent and returned to fish the very next day! |  |
| Once again, The Refuge provided all fishing equipment and bait. Staff and volunteers were on hand to help bait hooks, handle and identify fish and prepare worms. |  |
| A Patuxent Research Refuge Fishing Permit is required for adults to fish on the Refuge. Fishing permits can be issued at the National Wildlife Visitor Center and the North Tract. The North Tract has fishing year round with the exception of some holidays and hunting seasons. |  |
See you next year!
