Fish for the Future will be happening on Saturday July 9th this year. The venue is the same as other years, No. 2 Road Pier in Steveston (see map). This is a community event that happens annually, which aims to encourage families getting into fishing in the Great Vancouver area.
Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC will be attending once again and supplying fishing rods for kids to borrow. We'll have volunteers to help out on the pier, to make sure all the kids are fishing safely and catching fish. Hopefully, we will see some sculpin, pikeminnow, peamouth chub, starry flounder, largescale sucker, shiner perch, bull trout and possibly American shad and a few other estuary species.
Everyone will have a chance to bring their fish to the aquariums in a bucket so they can be viewed before being released back into the Fraser River.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada from Steveston will also be attending this year, so if you have questions on regulations, where you can and cannot fish, etc, this is your chance to ask.
Seymour Salmonid Society will be bringing some live juvenile coho salmon for their display once again.
Free juvenile saltwater fishing licences will be available on site for kids under the age of 16.
There'll be free flycasting and tying lessons available. Although these are mostly for kids, adults are welcome to join in too.
For more information, please feel free to post a reply or contact me directly. We look forward to see you on July 9th!
