The Annual Kids Fish-in is this Saturday at Silver Lake in south Everett. While you don’t have to own fishing gear, you do have to pre-register. Here’s the scoop from Everett Parks…

Everett Parks & Recreation and the Everett Steelhead & Salmon Club invite children, ages 4-14, to learn the basics of catching fish at the annual Kids Fish-In on Saturday, May 9, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Expert guides will be on hand to help up to 600 kids discover the fun of fishing.

“To watch the joy of delight on a young person’s face when they catch their first fish is, as they say, priceless,” said Parks Ranger Barry Martin.
