From and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife news release:
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will host a youth fishing event Saturday, May 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mt. Hood Pond in Gresham. The pond is on the Mount Hood Community College Campus, 2600 SE Stark St.
Mount Hood Pond is a youth-only and disabilities-permit fishing venue from April 1 through Aug. 31. Adults are welcome to attend, but can't fish without a current disabilities permit.
For the kids, the department will stock the pond with rainbow trout and hand out rods, reels, tackle and bait to youngsters who are learning to fish or do not have their own gear. Participants can bring their own tackle as well.
Pre-registration is not required. Department staff and volunteers will help with gearing up, casting, landing fish and other aspects of trout fishing.
Kids 11-years-old and younger do not need a fishing license. Those 12-17 need a $10 youth license (they won't be sold at the event).
There are too many online users to list.
