Kids’ Fishing Day
Youth and families are invited to the annual Cody Kids Fishing Day event Saturday, June 1 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Beck Lake Recreation Area in Cody. Kids 14 and under can register beginning at 8 a.m. at the entrance to the recreation area from 14th Street.
“This is a great opportunity for Cody area youth and their families to spend the day enjoying the outdoors and learning about fishing,” said Tara Hodges, Information and Education Specialist. “The event is free of charge and the entire family is encouraged to attend.”
Children and their families will have the opportunity to catch yellow perch, cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout. Assistance will be available for beginner anglers. To learn more about fishing at Beck Lake Recreation Area, check out this video.
The first 350 kids ages 14 and under who register will receive a free fishing pole and gift bag. Additional prizes will be awarded at the end of the event including a grand prize of a two-person inflatable kayak. Also, lucky participants who catch a tagged fish will win a free lifetime conservation stamp.
The event is hosted by Cody Optimists Club, East Yellowstone Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Shoshone National Forest and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
