Dishmah Hills Ponds


Rich Landers recently wrote about the very loud frogs at the east and west ponds in Dishman Hills. So I went for a Sunday hike with my children and this is what we found. Enjoy.

The Kids' Fish-In is a go! Register Now.

I just mailed in my son's registration yesterday. April 18 is the DEADLINE. Rich Landers did such a wonderful job describing the event and where to get the registration forms I am going to post a link here to his amazing outdoor blog. The cost has gone up from $5.00 to $10.00, but it is totally worth it to make fun fishing memories with your children. The child size Zebco fishing rod & reel are a great keepsake for every child who attends this event. I should mention that the t-shirt is pretty cool as well. I have high hopes my son will hook one of the few gigantic fish that are stocked in the fishing area this year and get to feel the thrill of landing a fish one-fifth of his weight.
