Interested In Fishing?

Sunday, May 24th is Fish-for-Free Day. 

 

Stop by the Park Office at 361 Bristoria Rd. and we'll have Push Button rods/reels and Fly Rods available to borrow. Ryerson is also part of the PA Fish Commission rod and reel tackle loaner program. This means the Push Button rods/reels and equipment can be borrowed at other times of the year as well. A adult ID is required to sign out the equipment for the person/group. Bait is not provided. All other fishing equipment, hooks, bobbers etc. are. Park Educator will be on site to provide instruction as necessary.  

 

Fish-for-Free Days allows anyone (resident or non-resident) to legally fish on Pennsylvania waterways on the designated days with NO Fishing License Required (Trout/Salmon and Lake Erie permits are also not required). All other fishing regulations still apply. 

 

Fish-for-Free Days are great ways for families to "catch" the fun of fishing!
