Kids Fishing Day set for April 19 in Carrie Blake Community Park

The 24th-annual Kids’ Fishing Day is set for 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, April 19, in the Water Reuse Demonstration Pond on the north side of Carrie Blake Community Park, 202 N. Blake Ave.

All children ages 14-and-younger, accompanied by an adult, can fish without a license.

Each child can catch up to two fish with worms and bait available. Volunteers will also clean each fish for free.

Last year, organizers estimate about 350 children fished during the event.

Rainbow trout are planted from Hurd Creek Fish Hatchery and is hosted in partnership between the North Olympic Peninsula Chapter of Puget Sound Anglers, City of Sequim, Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the hatchery.
