- Fishin’ Fun!, part of National Kids to Parks Day. Join ranger naturalist Arian Hampel for a two-hour fishing excursion. We will explore fishing techniques, equipment to use, and places to go on OSMP lands to catch bass, sunfish, bluegill and carp. Limited equipment provided, but feel free to bring your own. Kids will have a better time if their equipment is sized for them. And—when teaching a youngster to fish, it is best to leave your own equipment at home. If you are 16 or over, bring your fishing license. Limit: 24 people. Please register online using this link:http://kidsfishing.eventbrite.com Meeting location will be provided when you register. 2:00 to 4:00pm
