Learn about Fraser fishing the fun way on June 18

Learn about the Fraser River estuary the fun way! On Saturday June 18th, you are invited to join us at the 3rd annual Fish for the Future. This community festival is part of the BC Family Fishing Weekend, which hopes to create more responsible anglers and bring public awareness to conservation.

This year’s Fish for the Future will once again take place at London’s Landing Pier in Steveston (southern end of No. 2 Road, behind the bike park). It’s a quiet pier that is surrounded by marsh land, which is usually populated with bird life.

The festival will be taking place between 10:00am and 3:00pm. Limited number of rods and reels will be available for young participants who do not have the equipment. Fishing experts will be on site to assist those who are eager to learn about fishing. This year’s festival will feature the following activities:

Fly tying workshop: Match the hatch! Use the feathers available to create artificial flies that resemble aquatic insects! Our flytying instructors will instruct you as you come up with your own creation!

Fly casting demo: Fly casting is a challenging art. Learn the tricks to gain the extra 10 feet that you have been longing for.

Aquatic critter viewing: What’s that swimming in our aquariums? Visit the aquatic critter tent and see what roams in the Mighty Fraser. Test your entomology by identifying the insects that swim in our pond display.

Fish picture colouring: Colour the fun fish pictures that are available at this station.

The fishy station: Learn about the fish that live in the Fraser River and Georgia Strait. Collect all six pacific salmon cards, four rockfish cards and four trout cards!

Fantastic draw prizes: Buy a ticket for an instant draw!
