FISHING -- Fishing rods have been rigged up by volunteer sportsmen to hand out to about 950 kids ages 5-14 in the 16th annual Kids Fishing event at Clear Lake on May 2.

Kids are being scheduled for half-hour slots between 8 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. at Fairchild Air Force Base Recreation Area.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife plans to stock thousands of trout in net pens kids will be able to cast into from shore and docks.

For the $10 entry fee, each kid receives a Kids Fishing T-shirt, Zebco rod and reel and a chance to catch a limit of three trout. Volunteers will assist each child.

Applications must be postmarked by April 17.

Info: WDFW, (509) 892-1001.
