Free Fishing Day!

Event Summary

This event is part of celebrating the state-wide Free Fishing Weekend (June 5th-7th) offered through the Iowa DNR. Each year during the first full weekend in June, Iowa residents can enjoy a weekend of free fishing without a license. During the rest of the year, anyone 16 years of age and older needs a fishing license to legally fish in Iowa. Bring the whole family for a fun fishing day, while still practicing safe social distancing!
Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their own fishing pole, however, MCCB will have poles available if needed. Worms and some fishing equipment will also be provided. Poles will be sanitized before and after use.
We will meet outside of the shelter house and spread out along the shoreline for a fun morning of fishing!
The restrooms are currently under construction, so plan accordingly.
Each child will go home with a gift bag to start their fishing adventures. All materials will be provided in a "no-contact" manner to ensure a fun, and safe experience.
