Today is the Day to Welcome Back the Trout!

If you're anything like me, your days are hectic and you sometimes need a reminder of those events you were looking forward to attending. So I wanted to drop a brief reminder that today is the day for Tempe's Town Lake "Welcome Back the Trout".

I called the lake marina yesterday in an effort to get as many details as possible and was able to narrow down the fish stocking to take place sometime between 3 and 3:30 pm. If you have kids, you won't want to miss this as the fish will be brought in on a see-through fishmobile!

The free fishing clinic will take place between 3 - 5 pm and you won't need a fishing license for the day.

"Welcome Back the Trout" Next Tuesday in Tempe, Arizona

On November 21, the Arizona Fish and Game will host the annual "Welcome Back the Trout" event in Tempe's Town Lake. The fun event begins at 3:00 p.m. at the Town Lake marina. Folks can enjoy a day of free fishing, music, and fun! No fishing licenses will be required for the day (but will for future fishing).

The Arizona Fish and Game department will plant 3,500 Rainbow Trout into the lake that day. They'll use a see-through fishmobile so folks can see the fish before they're released into the lake. Hundreds of kids line up to help!

This also a great opportunity to get free trout fishing lessons. The Arizona Fish and Game department will host a free fishing clinic from 3 - 5 p.m. Rods, reels, bait, and fishing advice will be offered.

This a great day for kids and adults alike! If you've never caught trout before or wasn't sure how to get started trout fishing, this is the perfect opportunity for you and the whole family!
