The Dave Brandt Chapter of Trout Unlimited invites fathers to bring their children and go fishing this Father’s Day, June 21 for the Annual Free Fishing Day at Hodges Pond in Neahwa Park, Oneonta. Our Chapter of Trout Unlimited promotes conservation and fishing in Otsego County. This event, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, is for ages 5-16. There will be free fishing for kids with prizes going to all registered children, but you must pre register to get a prize. Registration starts at 10 a.m. Fishing rods and bait will be provided for those who do not have their own equipment. Adults can also fish for free without a fishing license for this event. At 2 p.m., the youngsters can learn fish identification and simple knot tying skills. Following the clinic, free prize drawings will take place. The Golden Guernsey Ice Cream Shop has donated complimentary ice cream coupons to registered participants of this event. Worms have been donated by Sportman’s Adventure.
