The second kids fishout for 2011 was held today.

Many fisherman and fisherwoman  braved the cold and were taught how to cast a fly and then catch a trout, several  for the first time.

To celebrate this achievement each angler received a certificate with the weight of their catch.

Attached are some of the images captured on this fine winters day.

Just a quick reminder that the second Kids Fishout for 2011 is on the Sunday the 14th of August at the Eastern Fish and Game Hatchery located in Paradise Valley Road.

There is a donation of $3.00 and all participants will get a casting lesson and a chance to catch a trout in the fishout pond.

To mark the achievement all successful anglers will be given a certificate which records the weight and length of the fish caught.

A susage sizzle will be available and also tea, coffee and softdrinks.

The morning session is 9.00 to 12.00 and the afternoon session is 1.00 to 3.00pm. All equipment is provided.

The first kids fishout at the Eastern Fish and Game Hatchery was held on a cold frosty day on the 17th July 2011. Nearly 500 young anglers learnt to cast a fly and, for a large number, catch a trout for the first time. Each fish was weighed and each young angler received a certificate to celebrate their achievement.

Below are some of the images captured on this day.
