Reason for Action: This rule change is necessary to ensure a successful youth fishing event. Several thousand rainbow trout will be stocked prior to the event to acclimate them to ensure they will bite while the kids are fishing. During the event, only registered kids will be allowed to fish.

Other Information: The pond re-opens to the public on April 27 at 4:00 p.m. Sarg Hubbard Park Pond is open to fishing only by juvenile anglers (under 15 years old) and adults with a disability who have a designated harvester companion card.
