FISHING – Registration is underway for the annual Kids Fishing Day on May 6 at Clear Lake, sponsored by area sportsmen clubs, the Kalispel Tribe and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Volunteers are meeting to rig up 950 rod-reel combos to be used by anglers ages 5-14.

Kids who sign up for a time slot will be able to catch and keep up to three stocked trout and keep the fishing gear when they’re done.

Families must register and pay $10 per kid by mail by April 21 after downloading a form from the Washington Fish and Wildlife youth fishing webpage .
