Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge in Phillips County is hosting its 25th annual Kids Fishing Day from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, June 9.
All area youths are encouraged to attend the free event, with activities and fishing at Cottonwood Grove, located east of the North Shore boat ramp on the north side of the refuge.
Staff from the refuge and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism will be on hand, as will volunteers from Fishing’s Future, to teach kids the basics about fishing, including knot tying, casting, baiting hooks, identifying fish and boat safety, laws and ethics. Kids will have an opportunity to fish after the activities, with fishing poles and bait provided.
A free lunch will be provided by the Kirwin Lions Club, and kids will receive some free tackle for attending. There also will be a drawing for prizes.
For driving directions and further information, contact the Refuge at (785) 543-6673. Signs will be posted beginning at the refuge entrance along K-9 highway.
