Take a Kid Fishing Event Scheduled for Feb. 9th in Parker, Arizona

The 34th annual “Take a Kid Fishing” event will be held Saturday, Feb. 9, at La Paz County Park in Parker, Ariz. This free family friendly event is open to the public. AZGFD will be stocking several thousand rainbow trout in two lagoons at the park prior to the event. Rods, reels, bait and tackle are all available to borrow. Children who register are eligible for door prizes drawn at the end of the day. There will be free hotdogs and soda on hand, too. The idea is to get kids and their families out enjoying a super activity like fishing, together. Registration starts at 10 a.m., fishing begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m., with the drawing right afterwards. For more information on this event, please call (928) 342-0091 or (928) 669-5220.
