Are your kids a few weeks into summer and already bored? Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the federal Bureau of Land Management have a solution: get them outside and get a pole in their hands with Lewistown’s annual kids fishing day June 18.

The fun starts at 10 a.m. at the Frog Ponds, and volunteers from the local Walleyes Unlimited and Trout Unlimited chapters will be on hand to give demonstrations on water safety, casting and fish identification.

Everyone is welcome to this free event, but the activities are geared for children ages 3-12. Kids have a shot at prizes from local businesses, including fishing poles, nets, tackle boxes, hats and more.

Those who attend are encouraged to bring their own fishing tackle, and no fishing license is required for participants.
