There are two fishing events coming up this weekend.
Central Montana's annual fishing day for youngsters will take place 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 3rd, at Wadsworth Pond on the west side of Great Falls. As in past years, the Great Falls chapter of Walleyes Unlimited will give away a free rod and reel outfit or a tackle box to youngsters who complete a series of educational stations, plus bait. There will also be hot dogs, soda, and water available to all. Prizes for the top 3 biggest fish.
No fishing license is required that day at Wadsworth. There is no age limit but the activities are geared to youngsters just learning how to fish. To get to Wadsworth Pond, head west on Central Avenue over I-15, turn north on 34th Street NW, then turn west on Wilkinson Lane and follow to the park.
