Kids Fishing Events offer Instruction and Fun

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division encourages parents to make lifetime memories at a Kids Fishing Event.  Research shows that most people are introduced to fishing by a family member and most consider a family member to be their best fishing friend.  Visit one of the many upcoming scheduled kids fishing events this spring and summer.  Kids fishing events typically take place at a location with a successful catch rate and many events have on-site volunteers to help those new to fishing.  Kids fishing events are sponsored across the state and provide fishing assistance to both children (under age 16) and parents from knowledgeable instructors.  The Wildlife Resources Division co-sponsors many events by providing channel catfish or trout to improve fishing, educational materials for participants, and guidance for sponsors.  For more information or local events, visit https://georgiawildlife.com/KidsFishing.
