FOURTH ANNUAL TRICK-A-TROUT KID FISH, FEBRUARY 9, 2008

Got bait? Want to fish? The City of Frisco Parks & Recreation Department
will be releasing 3,750 Rainbow Trout into the pond at Frisco Commons, at
8000 McKinney Road, on Saturday, February 9 starting at 8 a.m. The event
marks the fourth annual Trick-A-Trout Kid Fish. The pond is at the north
end of the park near the amphitheater.

Trick-A-Trout Kid Fish is a great opportunity for first time anglers to
come out and learn about the sport of fishing. Only kids, ages 4-16, will
be allowed to fish the first three hours. The average size of the fish
will be eight to ten inches and the daily bag limit is five per person.
Rod and reel combo sets will be given to the first ten kids to catch a
trout.

Everyone is encouraged to "catch 'em and keep 'em." Trout cannot survive
when water temperatures rise later this spring, and everyone is encouraged
to keep whatever they catch. This event is rain or shine so everyone
needs to come prepared for the weather.

The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department regularly stocks the ponds at Frisco
Commons and Warren Sports Complex, 7599 Eldorado Parkway, with channel
catfish and largemouth black bass.

Tips for successful fishing include using a lightweight line (4-6 lbs.
test), small hooks and small sinkers. Baits can include live worms,
artificial lures, whole kernel corn, cheese, salmon eggs, marshmallows,
power bait or your own "family secret".

Open season for adult anglers will start at 11 a.m. February 9. Anyone 17
years old and over is required to have a Texas fishing license. Licenses
are available at any sporting goods store. After the Trick-A-Trout, people
can fish at the pond until the trout are gone. Park hours are from dawn
until dusk.
