In conjunction with Iowa's Free Fishing Weekend during which fishing licenses are not required for fishing, the Rotary Club of Waukee, the Waukee Parks & Recreation Department and Iowa State University Extension & Outreach of Dallas County are hosting a fishing event utilizing the Fish Iowa! curriculum. Participants in K-6th grades will learn key fishing skills such as baiting, casting, reeling and fish and wildlife ethics through rotating stations. The event is free, however, the youth workshops do require advance registration. There are two sessions of the workshops - one at 9 a.m. and one at 9 a.m. “Free fishing” areas will be available for children and adults of all ages as well.
Bait will be provided to youth participants. Please bring your own equipment. Limited fishing equipment may be available upon request while supplies last. Adult supervision is required at all times.
Parking is located at Holmes Murphy (2727 Grand Prairie Parkway). The Kettlestone Commons Ponds are located just north of the Holmes Murphy building.
