KIDS FISHING DAY – FREE Sponsored by Montgomery County Parks and Recreation, National Forest Service, and Game and Inland Fisheries, Kids Fishing Day on Saturday, May 4. The annual event starts at 8 a.m. at Pandapas Pond. Kids age 15 and younger can fish for free and enter their catches in the competition. Area game wardens will be on hand to measure the fish. At noon, a whistle will blow and the fishing derby ends! There will be ribbons and prizes for the first and second largest fish, the third largest fish combined and the smallest fish. Montgomery County Parks and Recreation will be cooking hotdogs and serving lemonade. This is a FREE event. Come join the fun! Several special regulations will be in place on Saturday to accommodate the event. Because the pond is stocked with large fish especially for this event, fishing is not allowed after noon on Friday until the event begins on Saturday. No one older than 15 is allowed to fish on Saturday until the event is over - this is the kids’ day! The trail around the pond is closed to all use except the fishing derby from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 4. For more information, contact the Eastern Divide Ranger District at (540) 552-4641.
