Youth Fishing Fun Day

In partnership with the Friends of Blackwater and the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge will hold the annual Youth Fishing Fun Day on June 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This family-friendly event will be held at “Hog Range” Pond behind the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center, located off Route 335.

People 15 years old and younger can pre-register for the event by calling 410-228-2677 or register at the event June 3.

The first 100 registered youth to check in at the event will receive a T-shirt and special gift. Each registered youth will also receive a free lunch ticket for a hot dog, drink and chips.

Bait (nightcrawlers) will be provided for anglers, or they may bring their own bait or lures. A limited number of sanitized “loaner” fishing rods will be available, but anglers are encouraged to bring their own if they have one. Staff and volunteers will be on hand to help.

This is a non-competitive, catch-and-release event meant to introduce children to the fun of fishing. Any snakeheads that are caught may be kept, but they must be deceased before they leave the premises. No pets are allowed. Email fw5rw_BWNWR@fws.gov for information.
