Published May 29, 2012

PORTLAND, Ore. – In conjunction with the State of Washington’s free fishing weekend, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites the public to a family fishing event at Spearfish Park, near Dallesport, Wash., on June 9, 2012, from 9 a.m. to noon.  

 

Corps Park Rangers, volunteers, and our partners from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Klickitat Chapter of Trout Unlimited are coming together to provide outdoor fun for families.  There will be many activities and visitors will have the opportunity to learn fishing basics, like how to properly bait and tie a hook, how to identify various species of fish, casting skills, and most import antly, how to be safe around the water.

 

This event is intended for children and families with beginner levels of fishing experience.  A fishing license is not required; however all other sport fishing rules apply, including size and catch limits.  Visitors are encouraged to bring their poles, bait and tackle; only a limited supply will be available for use. Visitors are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring bottled water, as potable water is not available on-site. 

 

For public safety, the Spearfish ramp will be closed to boats because anglers will use the boat ramp to access the water.  Please note that water access at Spearfish Park does not meet ADA requirements.

 

Spearfish Park is located off U.S. Highway 197 near Dallesport, Wash.  From Highway

197, turn east on Dock Road and in approximately 1 mile, the park will be on the left.  Activities enjoyed at the lake include; hiking, geocaching, fishing, swimming, and wildl ife viewing.
