Join us at E.T. Mahoney State Park for Fishing For Younger Friends!

This program is designed to get our early outdoorsy types into fishing. Children ages 3-5 years will learn the names of some common Nebraska fish, make a fish print and learn to cast by playing Backyard Bass.

Following the program, those who want to try fishing in the lake can see how they do. We’ll provide the bait and smaller-sized fishing poles.

Grown-ups (16+) who choose to fish with their children need to have a valid NE Fishing License. Adult supervision is required and tag-along siblings are welcome to join us.
