Open house, clinics, giveaways, free food and more at Warren County Fish Hatchery
WARRENSBURG, NY – Learn how to fish, catch a trout and have lunch at Warren County Fish Hatchery’s Spring Zing open house/fishing clinic on May 11!
The staff at Warren County Fish Hatchery has organized a fun-filled day of fish-themed fun, with clinics, prizes, demonstrations, free food and more at the county-owned hatchery in Warrensburg.
Best of all, thanks to a group of generous sponsors, Spring Zing is entirely free!
“Our Spring Zing event is always a great time for kids and adults, particularly if you are someone who enjoys fishing, or if you want to learn to catch fish or teach a child how to fish. We are very thankful for the sponsors who provide great gear and prizes, and help us make this such a fun day,” said Dean Moore, Warren County Director of Parks, Recreation & Railroad.
Tours of the trout-rearing operation at the hatchery will be offered, while there will also be fishing clinics, fly tying demonstrations, discussion of stream entomology and more. Fishing gear donated by sponsors will be raffled off.
The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a free hot dog lunch available between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
