Only two more weekends for your chance to participate in the Go Fish program offered by the Regional District.

One of the Regional Parks most popular programs is underway once again. ‘Go Fish’ runs each weekend through Sunday, June 14th, between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm at two locations: the Hall Road pond in Mission Creek Regional Park and in Shannon Lake Regional Park (Shannon Lake Road).

The program offers youth under age 16, a chance to catch one rainbow trout each day without a fishing license. A limited number of rods, reels and bait will be available each Saturday and Sunday and volunteers from the Kelowna Fish and Game Club and Peachland Sportsmen’s Association and Regional Parks staff will be on site to help youngsters try their luck!

‘Go Fish’ is being offered with the generous support of the two clubs along with the Ministry of Environment, Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC and the Summerland Trout Hatchery.
