13th Annual Trout Day

[Jim W]

I felt like I needed something warm to think about and look forward to.

The 13th Annual Trout Day will be held May 4th at Forestville Mystery Cave State Park.

One of a kind event. I possess a permit from the DNR allowing anyone registered at the event can fish in the park on designated trout waters with out a fishing license and trout stamp.

More info regarding the days agenda to come.

Keep the rods bendin'!!!

Still looking for additional Volunteers. Anyone who has experience either spin or fly fishing streams for any specie of fish, I can use you.

Keep in mind, if registered at Trout Day, you can fish th streams in the Park with out a license and witih out a Trout Stamp. Of course all other rules apply.

If any questions about donating, the event or would like to help, you can reach me at 261-9816.

Hello,

Just a friendly reminder for families etc attending to dress appropriately for Saturday. Forecast has improved some for the day, but it might be cool and wet.

The Park's pavillion isn't large enough for the entire group to "camp out" in all day.

Besides, it's about being in the out of doors right?

There will be hot coffe rolls and juice during registraion and hot dogs for lunch.

Please remember a prompt 9:00AM start.

Looking forward to a day off!
