Take the kids fishing on Saturday, Jan. 16 in the lower pond at Camp Mabry! Both military families, as well as families from the larger Austin community, are invited to come out for the 2nd Annual Youth Fishing Derby! Ponds will be stocked with Rainbow Trout, and prizes will be given for outstanding catches at this free event.

Don’t have a fishing pole? That’s okay. They will have tackle and poles you can use. But you’re also welcome to bring your own if you’ve got them.

Texas Parks and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and the Texas Army National Guard environmental program are partnering to bring you this fun family outdoor event. In addition, to learning how to fish and fishing, there will be many other fun and educational activities for your children to engage in.

For more info, please call Linda Brown at 512-782-5818 or Cat Cude at 512-915-9248.

As always, a photo I.D. is required to enter Camp Mabry.

Have fun!
