Pre-Derby Community Activities
The Fish Hatchery at
Powder Mills Park has announced their pre-derby community activities, a
sure sign that spring is in the air! The public is invited to join us
for two free, all-ages events:
Saturday, March 6, 2010 - FREE Fly-Tying Demonstration and Casting Clinic
The public is invited to participate in a
free fly-tying demonstration and casting clinic between 8 and 11 a.m.,
thanks to the generosity of Joe Triolo and friends. Learn how lure
colors and textures attract different species and ages of fish. Try your
hand at fly casting with expert instructors. This event is sponsored by
the Riedman Foundation.
Share your favorite fishing stories over some coffee; hear some that are hard to believe. Bring friends and make some new ones. Captain Bill Kelley of the Mighty Angler, will present a slide show and tell us about the ones that did and did not get away. The event takes place between 10:00 a.m. and noon and is made possible through the generosity of Fish-On Charters Inc. and the Riedman Foundation.
Hatchery staff will also be on hand to teach young
anglers about the fish being raised at the hatchery. The March 6
and 13 events are free, but reservations are recommended.
Please call the Fish Hatchery at 585-586-1670 to register, or for more
information. You can also find information about upcoming activities and
news by joining the Fish Hatchery at Powder Mills Park Facebook group.
