Children and families are invited to a fun fishing event along the Ohio and Erie Canal just down the hill from CanalWay Center. Rainbow trout and catfish will be stocked prior to the event. Educational stations will provide opportunities for families to learn fishing skills or test their knowledge. Fishing will be open to anglers of all ages. Anyone age 16 years and older must have a current Ohio Fishing License to fish. Prizes will be awarded in several fishing categories for youth ages 15 years and younger. Youth must be present to win.
Registration will take place on the day of the event.
