Event details
Spend some time on the water combining two of your favorite recreational activities – fishing and kayaking! Enjoy a paddle with a certified kayak instructor at Rock Run Rookery. Bring your favorite fishing pole and some tackle for an evening on the water. We will start with a tour of the lake while learning about local fish species. Then you’ll have time to cast around and try your luck to see what fish are biting.
