The Shane Copp Annual Youth Fishing Day

May 3, 2025 | 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

For Kids – FREE

Two registration time slots: 8-10am and 10am-noon.

Spring is here! Join us for the Shane Copp Annual Youth Fishing Day! This event is an opportunity for kids and families to try their luck in catching (and keeping up to 2) recently stocked brook and brown trout. Let’s Go Fishing Instructors will share anglers’ tips and techniques. The fishing is for the kids, but parent supervision is required and participation encouraged. Bait provided. Barbless hooks required; we’ll have extras here. (note – you can make a barbless hook from a barbed hook with a set of pliers!). If you’d like to bring a catch home, bring a cooler and a ziploc bag. Bring your own pole; bait provided.

Location: NorthWoods Stewardship Center, 154 Leadership Dr, West Charleston, VT
