There is nothing in the world that compares to the feeling you get when your bobber suddenly plunges below the water's surface and your fishing pole almost flies out of your hands. You can get that experience right here in William Land Park, across from the Zoo on Land Park Drive next Saturday, January 24th, when the California Department of Fish and Game hosts a free fishing clinic in Sacramento. Fishing begins at 8:30 and runs until noon.
This event is part of the Fishing in the City program, created in 1993 by the state of California to encourage urban fishing. State employees have been stocking the lake at William Land Park with channel catfish and rainbow trout. Free rods, reel and tackle will be provided (for up to 50 people), but you can also get a loaner from Broadway Bait at 1701 Broadway or bring your own.
If you're over 16, you need a valid California fishing license, but younger anglers can fish without a license. I'm thinking I should drag my husband down to Broadway Bait to get a fishing license. In a way, you know, that's how we ended up getting married, going to the courthouse in Minneapolis to get a fishing license and discovering as a married couple we would get a discount on a joint license.
