The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Central Oregon Flyfishers will host a youth fishing event at the Pine Nursery Pond in northeast Bend this Saturday.
The free event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will offer young anglers a chance to try two different fishing techniques.
From 9 a.m. to noon the focus will be on spin-cast fishing — a great way for young beginners to catch their first fish. ODFW staff and volunteers will be on hand to help young anglers learn how to bait a hook, cast a rod and land their catch.
The ODFW also will provide loaner fishing rods, reels, and will have bait, bobber kits and information about additional fishing opportunities.
At noon the focus will turn to fly-fishing, and the Central Oregon Flyfishers will provide hands-on instruction in casting, fly-tying, insect identification and fly-fishing on the pond.
The event is open to kids age 17 and younger. Per Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations, anglers age 13 and younger can fish for free, while those 14 to 17 will need to have a $9 juvenile angling license available at ODFW field stations and license outlets. Licenses will not be sold on site the day of the event.
Pine Nursery Pond is stocked regularly by ODFW and offers family fishing throughout the summer.
