It鈥檚 a wonderful way to introduce kids to fishing.

The Regional District Central Okanagan鈥檚 Go Fish! program is at and every Sunday through June 19. Children can try their luck at catching fish in the pond at the Hall Road entrance to Mission Creek and Shannon Lake, which are stocked with trout.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a drop-in program, for 15 years old and under,鈥� says Kelly Badger, parks visitor experience, and communications coordinator RDCO. 鈥淚f you鈥檙e from B.C. you don鈥檛 need to have a fishing licence.鈥�

Park Interpreters will be on hand to help teach new fishers, with rods, reels and bait supplied for those who don鈥檛 have their own gear. There is a one fish per day limit and there is no need to register.

The program runs Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Shannon Lake Regional Park and Mission Creek Regional Park at the Hall Road entrance.
