ROCKAWAY BEACH – Young people interested in learning to fish can find a great opportunity Saturday at Nedonna Pond, just north of Rockaway Beach.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will stock approximately 600 legal-sized rainbow trout for the event as well as 50 trophy trout, as part of the Youth Angling Enhancement Program.

The fishing event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. ODFW will supply rods, reels and tackle for use by young anglers who do not have their own fishing equipment. Volunteers from the Rockaway Lions Club will be on hand to help young anglers. The child who catches the largest trout will win a rod and reel.

Under Oregon sport fishing regulations, anglers 13 and younger do not need a fishing license but anglers 14 to 17 years are required to have a juvenile license. All angling regulations continue to apply for this event.
