Other Information: Youth will hear from the Clay County Rangers and learn about animals living in the area and also learn about some fishing safety. Fishing will follow the presentation. Youth ages 4-14 will not need a fishing license. However, if parents assist youth by casting or holding the fishing pole while it’s in the water, they will need a license. If parents and staff assist with putting worms on the hook and taking fish off the hook they do not need a license.
