Are you seeking one last outdoor adventure with your kids before school begins? How about free fishing? It is close enough for a day trip but far enough away to get ‘away.’ Try a free fishing, catch-and-release event in Rolla!<\/p>\n

What is Happening?<\/h3>\n

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has partnered with the Meramec Hills Master Naturalist Chapter to host a free<\/strong> catch-and-release fishing event for students.<\/p>\n

When Is This?<\/h3>\n

The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Aug. 8 at Bray Conservation Area (CA) in Rolla. You need to register beforehand<\/a>, which can be done here. School-aged children and their families are welcome to attend. This event is geared towards children ages five and older and their families.<\/p>\n

MDC Staff<\/h3>\n

Additionally, the MDC staff will provide information about fish identification, native plants, and how people can connect with nature. Fishing poles and bait will be provided for all school-age children. While most things are provided, participants are asked to bring extra drinking water to stay hydrated.<\/p>\n

What Else?<\/h3>\n

Besides the fun and educational experience of catching a fish with your family, the MDC will pass out school supplies (like pencils, pens, and erasers) to the first 50 participating school children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
