Last year Spokane played host to a great opportunity for promising young anglers in the form of Go Play Outsides's event called the Kid's Fish-In out at Clear Lake on the first Saturday in May. Due to budget shortcomings it does not look promising for this year that this event will be continued. It is just too bad because it was a super event. The cost was only 5.00 or 10.00 dollars and every child received a t-shirt, a new kid sized fishing pole and best of all they were assured to catch 3 rainbow trout from the 4,000 stocked in the nets along the shore. It was literally like shooting fish in a barrel. The excitement on shore of child after child landing another fish was amazing. I truly hope that a magic fairy arrives and fixes the budgetary woes this year so many more Spokane youth will have the opportunity to fish. I guess we will have to find something else to do the day before Bloomsday now.
