Kids fishing clinic offered at Hayes Lake State Park
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites children and their parents to Hayes Lake State Park on Saturday, July 11, from 10-4 p.m. for a Kid's Fishing Clinic at the Dam Picnic Area.
Participating children will explore the aquatic habitat of Hayes Lake, learn to identify fish, practice knot tying and casting, and end the afternoon fishing on the pier.
This program is for children grades one to four, and is limited to 10 participants. Registration is required by calling 218-425-7504. The DNR encourages parents to participate with their children. Participants do not need a fishing license.
This program, sponsored by Mattson Pharmacy of Roseau, is free. A vehicle permit, sold at the park office, is required to enter the park. Daily permits are $5. Annual permits, good for year-long access to all 72 of Minnesota's state parks and recreational areas, are just $25.
The entrance to Hayes Lake State Park is located 15 miles south of Roseau on State Highway 89, then nine miles east on Roseau County Road 4.
