Learn to Fish
Take the family fishing
2026 Family Fishing Events - COMING SOON
Coordinators are currently confirming dates and locations for this year's events. Pin this page and check back soon.
Kids, families and friends learn the fun of fishing. At each event ODFW staff and volunteers will provide equipment, and teach new anglers how to rig their line, cast a rod, land a fish and identify their catch. This is a great opportunity for families to learn how to fish together and spend time in the outdoors.
ODFW partners with several groups to offer family fishing events in spring and early summer throughout the state. A fishing license is required to participate, check fishing regulation updates
