Event details

Create your own monster fish this spooky season. Visit the Tackle Box bait shop to receive crayons and a fish in need of color and life. Then explore Hidden Lakes Trout Farm to find textures to add as well as challenges that may add a few more fins, eyes, teeth and other parts to your fish! Complete your Frankenstein-inspired fish and turn it into the bait shop to be displayed for a treat.
