The date is fast approaching for Fort Boggy State Park’s 6th Annual Kid Fish, Saturday, February 25th.. The “Annual Kid Fish” is for children ages 5-12. Children must be 5 years of age by September 1, 2022. All participating children must be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older and no more than two children per adult. Dress appropriately as this event will take place regardless of weather.
To register contact the park office by calling (903) 344-1116, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. daily. Pre-registration is closed, but there are a limited number of walk-in spots still available.
Space is limited to 50 participants per session. There are two sessions to choose from: Morning session (9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.) and Afternoon session (1:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.)
During each session participating children will receive an event t-shirt, loaner rod ‘n’ reel with tackle and bait and have the opportunity to win trophies for competing in the fishing tournament. If a participant wishes to use their own rod and reel, please note – no lures are allowed…only hooks for the provided bait. At the conclusion of each tournament session and award ceremony, each participant will receive a brand new Zebco rod-n-reel to take home. Complete tournament rules for each session will be provided with each registration form on the day of the event. This is a family event! Older and younger siblings may come but will need to have their own gear if they wish to fish!
The Annual Kid Fish at Fort Boggy State Park is FREE for all children 12 years and younger! Park entrance fee of $3.00 per person 13 and older is required. We encourage you to purchase a park entrance pass at the time of registration.
