Kids can learn how to bait a hook and catch fish during the ninth annual Eagle Creek Park Kids' Fishing Derby.
The June 5 event put on by the Eagle Creek Park Foundation is open to 400 children ages 4 to 14 and is one of the nation's largest fishing derbies, said Allison Frane, event spokeswoman.
Registration for the free event starts Monday. Families will not be charged park or event admission, and no fishing license is required. Volunteers will demonstrate fishing techniques during the catch and release event, and the foundation will provide hot dogs, chips and drinks.
Participants who own fishing equipment are asked to bring it, but the foundation has rods and reels for those without it, Frane said. An adult must accompany all children.
Preregistration is required. Forms are available at the Eagle Creek Park office, 7840 W. 56th St., or through June 1 at www.eaglecreekpark.org. For more information call (317) 327-7116.
