All Iowa residents can fish for free June 5th-7th. So, if you've always wanted to try fishing, now may be the time! We'll be at Thorpe Park to loan you everything you need to cast a line, including poles, lures, tackle, bait, and even instruction. All you need to do is stop at the Lake Catherine boat dock anytime during the evening and we'll get you set up. We'll even have some handouts that you can take home with you, as well as activity sheets for the kids!
