Kids Fishing Days
This popular event takes place in various locations throughout the forest. Learn how to tie a fishing knot, bait your hook and all matter of fishing related skills. Kids (and adults) are so passionate about fishing we hold one of our fishing days in the winter, so you can learn how to indulge in angling all year long.
