Stop texting – let’s go fishing

Otago Fish & Game Council is running two FREE Take-a-kid-fishing days at the Southern Reservoir (located off Reservoir Road) on Sat 22nd and Sat 29th September 2018.

Registrations for the event start on Monday 27th August and are essential. To register, visit https://fishandgame.org.nz/otago/freshwater-fishing-in-new-zealand/fishing-news-and-events/otago-take-a-kid-fishing-days-2018/ Alternatively, come into the Fish & Game office on the corner of Hanover & Harrow St, Dunedin.

Registrations are limited to 130 kids per session.

Spare fishing rods will be available along with experts to help kids get started. Parents or care givers must be present to supervise children.

We appreciate newsletter space is limited but hope that you can help us to promote this worthwhile outdoor event. If you think there is anything extra we can do to encourage kids along then please let us know.

A quote from ― Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder

“We have such a brief opportunity to pass on to our children our love for this Earth, and to tell our stories. These are the moments when the world is made whole. In my children's memories, the adventures we've had together in nature will always exist”
