The Take a Kid Fishing is held on Friday 19th and Saturday 20th October at McGregors Pond.

This is a chance for children under 12 to give fishing a go. The competition starts at 2pm on the Friday and finishes at 5pm on Saturday. On Saturday there are expert anglers on hand to help with setting up rods and lines and to give a few tips on how to fish. They will also help to pull in the big one! The pond is stocked with fish in the days leading up to the competition giving everyone the best chance to bag a fish.

Entrants recieve a goodie bag of snacks for the day and the first 100 to enter on the online entry system receive a special goodie bag.

McGregors Pond is just out of Te Anau and the Take a Kid Fishing is well sign posted making it easy to find.

Don't forget to get the kids to do the colouring competition! All the kids can enter, not just the ones entered in the Fishing Classic and Take a Kid Fishing. Categories are 4 years & under, 5 - 7 years, 8 years & over.
