CATCH SOME FAMILY FUN AT 7th ANNUAL TRICK-A-TROUT KID FISH SATURDAY,
FEBRUARY 5;
FIRST 25 KIDS TO CATCH A FISH RECEIVE ROD AND REEL SET

(January 27, 2011) ‘Reel in’ family fu n when the City of Frisco Parks &
Recreation Department hosts the 7th annual Trick-A-Trout Kid Fish
Saturday, February 5 at Frisco Commons, located at 8000 McKinney Road.
The event begins at 8:00 a.m. and runs until 11:00 a.m. 3,150 Rainbow
Trout will be released in the Commons pond, which is located north of the
main park pavilion.

The Trick-A-Trout Kid Fish is a great opportunity for first time anglers
to come out and learn about the sport of fishing. Since only kids up to
age16 will be allowed to fish for the first three hours, they will have a
chance to really hone their fishing skills. The average size of the fish
will be eight-to-ten inches, and the daily bag limit is five per person.

Everyone is encouraged to keep what they catch since trout cannot survive
when water temperatures rise in the spring. This event is rain or shine,
so everyone is encouraged to be prepared for the weather.

The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department regularly stocks the pond with
channel catfish and largemouth black bass. TP&W also regularly stocks the
pond at Warren Sports Complex.

Tips for successful fishing include using a lightweight line (4-6 lbs.
test), small hooks and small sinkers. Baits can include live worms,
power bait, whole kernel corn, cheese, salmon eggs, marshmallows or small
artificial lures. Participants will need to bring their own bait and
tackle. The first twenty-five kids to catch a trout will receive a rod
and reel combo set.

Open season for adult anglers will start at 11:00 a.m. Anyone 17 years old
and older is required to have a Texas fishing license. You can register
for a fishing license at most sporting goods stores. Park hours are from
dawn until dusk.
