Volunteers are needed to help with a family-friendly fishing event staffed by Ranger Gordon Dietzman. Gordon expects 50-100 participants, depending on weather, many of which will be children in the 4-12 age range.
Volunteers will help participants with tackle, poles, baiting hooks, taking fish off hooks, watching for safety issues, offering encouragement, etc. and may have to kneel down and carry up to 25 lbs. when we are setting up or taking down the event. Volunteers do not need fishing experience or a fishing license to assist participants; training happens prior to the event. This event can be fast-paced and is one of Ranger Gordon's favorite annual programs as many participants will catch their first fish and will want to tell others about their experience. Volunteers should be good listeners!
Sign up on the volunteer calendar.
