Where
The 27th annual Stratford kids’ trout fishing day is being held this year on Saturday 14th December 2024.
The event involves the release of 300+ large rainbow trout into the scout den pool in the Patea River within King Edward Park, in the heart of Stratford.
Children will be able to fish from 8am until 1pm with help from Stratford Fishing Club members and volunteers.
All fishing gear will be provided, though if you have a good supply of worms for bait they’ll be much appreciated.
How to book your time slot
Parents and caregivers can book a 15-minute time slot for their kids by visiting the isite at the Stratford Library and Visitor Information Centre in Miranda Street, Stratford, or ringing them on 0800 765 6708.
The beauty of this release is that the trout remain in the vicinity for several months, complementing the Patea River’s resident brown trout population and providing great fishing for novice and expert anglers alike.
If you would like to volunteer to help kids’ fish on the day, please get in touch with Taranaki Fish & Game on 06 757 9676
