Fishing in the City - San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial Counties

Teaching children and parents to fish so that they can fish on their own is the foundation of our work. All programs are offered at very low or no cost at all. Our hope is that families will become “hooked” on fishing, and thus their children will be inspired by the outdoors and learn to value our natural resources.

Upcoming Fishing Events

A California Sport Fishing License is required for persons 16 years of age and over when fishing. Please feel free to bring your own equipment. In order to participate in free loan of rod and reel, children are required to participate in learning stations. Limited availability of bait, tackle, rods and reels. These will be family events, parents are encouraged to fish and learn with their children however, a license is still necessary for parents to participate.
