Group Fishing
Description: For the Youth Fishing Clinic over 200 fish are put in the pool. Several fish remain in the pool after the clinic, so the best way to get the fish out is to allow groups to come fishing. The week after the clinic the pool is open to groups with reservations. ODR provides equipment, bait, and instruction. Your group must get the kids to the pool, and have appropriate supervision.
