"Kids Can Fish Program" is a BIG Success


What a great success story. The Red Deer Fish and Game Club along with the City of Red Deer deserve a gigantic well done for the "Kids Can Fish" Program at Bower Ponds yesterday. The shoreline of Bower Ponds was covered with families, especially kids trying to catch a rainbow trout! I saw a ton of volunteers trying to help kids learn to fish and possibly catch a trout! The best part for me was seeing families outside together unplugged enjoying our beautiful Bower Ponds area! It was an excellent opportunity for the Fish and Game club to promote the club and all of their excellent activities. 

The showery weather thankfully held off until the afternoon. I am sure kids and their families will be back to Bower Ponds to try and catch a rainbow trout!

Remember that Mitchell Pond at Heritage Ranch was stocked with 2000 catchable rainbows. A small micro leech or flashback nymph about 4 feet below a bobber will get you into some trout! ...also Three Mile Bend Pond has catchable pike and the ponds at Riverbend Golf Course have catchable pike too!
