The Learn to Fish Program is a family-friendly lead teaching session that is currently free to the general public. The Program consists of lessons on everything from how to set up your fishing rod all the way to fish identification and the importance of being able to identify fish correctly, and much more. We end every program with about an hour of fishing the trout pond here on-site. The program is fun and accessible to everyone. Now is the best time ever to learn to fish!
There are two upcoming programs in 2024: July 13 and July 23. Register online to join the program!
The pond is directly behind the sturgeon hatchery in Vanderhoof. There is signage out front that provide easy directions to the pond. We encourage people to park over at Riverside Park and walk across the road at the crosswalk as parking at the hatchery can fill up very easily.
