National Hunting and Fishing Day recognizes generations of sportsmen and women for their contributions to the conservation of our nation's rich sporting heritage and natural resources. One of the main goals of National Hunting and Fishing Day is to recruit new hunters and anglers by encouraging participation in recreational hunting and fishing, as well as increasing public awareness of the connection between hunting, angling and environmental conservation.
The National Hunting and Fishing Day program will provide opportunities for families to participate in fishing activities including on-water fishing with the PFBC and fly-casting with Spring Creek Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Families will also be introduced to conservation by building fish habitat structures for the lake with PFBC's Division of Lake Habitat staff. Participants will also be able to test their shooting skills with an archery course offered by the 4-H Youth Development Program.
All equipment will be provided for the event! No fishing or hunting license is needed to participate in the event.
Pre-registered participants will have the opportunity to receive prizes through random drawings.
