Sold out! Join us for a morning of fishing around the Pequest Education Pond. The pond has stairs down to the water's edge and a fishing platform (limited space) for those in wheelchairs. Whether you still fish, used to fish or want to learn - we would love to share our expertise with you. Bring your chairs, equipment and nightcrawlers and get excited about fishing again. This program is open to people aged 65 and above who hold a valid NJ fishing license and trout stamp (NJ residents age 70 and over are exempt from license/stamp requirements). Come a few minutes early and purchase your license and trout stamp at the front desk when you sign in.
All programs require registration; registration opens two weeks prior to program date. For registration or information call 908-637-4125 ext. 0.
