We Teach Kids About Fishing

Help us keep our programs free for the kids

OUR PROGRAMS

We have three main programs to educate kids about fishing. Our programs are our monthly free Kids Fishing Club Meetings, our large free kids fishing events, called Meet me at the Lake and our ocean Private Fishing lessons.

Monthly Kids Fishing Club

On the third Saturday of each month youth get together at our club house located at Legg Lake in Whittier Narrow Recreation Area in South El Monte. We start off each meeting in our club house and then it's off to the lake for fishing

Kids Fishing Club
Meet me at the Lake

is a unique half-day festival-style free youth fishing event open to the public and held at various local city lakes throughout the year. This powerful outreach program caters to urban kids and their families who may not otherwise have access to viable fishing opportunities.
