This free day of fishing and outdoor activities will take place on Saturday, June 19 from 10-2 at Herrick Lake in Wheaton, Ill. Note that this is earlier than previous fishing days you may have attended, as we want to ensure we have the best possible fishing conditions and we reach as many people as possible.
 
Attending children will have the opportunity to learn about and practice fishing, participate in games and crafts, and enjoy a free lunch. Every child will also receive a rod and reel, in hopes that he or she will continue to enjoy the sport after the day is complete.
