Join the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for a Community Fishing Event at Fontenelle Park Pond, a 4-acre pond at 45th Street and Ames Avenue and bisected by Fontenelle Boulevard in northwest Omaha.

Community Fishing Events provide opportunities for people of all ages who have never fished or have not fished in years to learn and enjoy the activity. Rods and reels, as well as bait and fishing instruction, will be available for free at the Community Fishing Events Trailer.

All participants ages 16 and older need a fishing license; it can be purchased online at OutdoorNebraska.gov. All fishing regulations apply.

Community Fishing events are sponsored by Nebraska Game and Parks and held at park venues across the state designed to introduce or reintroduce families and individuals to the sport of fishing. At these events, Game and Parks staff and Certified Fishing Instructors teach people of all ages the basics of this fun and relaxing activity.
