Calling all anglers! Come on out to Hidden Lakes Trout Farm and close out summer while you try your hand at fishing. We invite you to find the best spot along the shore and try your luck at catching fish. We will provide one free container of nightcrawlers. Prizes will be awarded for the biggest catch, with first-, second- and third-place prizes awarded.
Pack a lunch and bring your favorite fishing pole. Sign up for one session or both! Winners will be announced as soon as results are tallied. The first 25 registrants will receive a free giveaway!
