Fishing Lessons

Bring a Pole and come learn some fishing tricks!

The Canon City Area Recreation & Park District is teaming up with a pro to offer fishing lessons for the youth in our community.

Mr. Don Evans and other pros will instruct a one day course on reel fishing at Pathfinder Regional Park's pond.

Mr. Evans was named Angler of the Year in 2018, and Rookie of the Year in 2019 by Pikes Peak Bassmaster.

If available , Colorado Parks & Wildlife will be present to answer any questions and provide a limited number of poles.
