Still time to register for annual Fish-Tival

Herald-Times Report

People of all ages with disabilities, along with their families and friends, can participate in the annual Fish-Tival from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Paynetown on Lake Monroe.

The Department of Natural Resources will provide casting lessons and information about the fish in Lake Monroe, and a person who raises hawks will show and provide information about them.

Participants can fish from the accessible pier or can fish or ride on pontoon boats. There will be live music, a pulled pork picnic and awards for most fish caught, ugliest fish, youngest person to catch a fish and oldest person to catch a fish.

No fishing licenses are necessary. Fishing gear, bait, lunch and all activities are free. The only charge is the Paynetown Park admission fee of $5 per car. To register or get more information, call 800-845-6914.
