Annual kids’ trout fishing day coming up

The 25th annual Stratford kids’ trout fishing day is returning this year on December 3. Taranaki Fish and Game will release 300 large rainbow trout into the scout den pool in the Pātea River within King Edward Park, in the heart of Stratford, ahead of the big day. Children will be able to fish from 8am until 1pm with help from Stratford Fishing Club members and volunteers. Parents and caregivers can book a 15-minute time slot for their kids by visiting the Stratford i-site in Miranda St or phoning 0800 765 6708. To volunteer to help kids fishing on the day, please contact Taranaki Fish and Game on 06 757 9676.
