The City of Fredericksburg Parks and Recreation Department will host a free Kid Fish Day on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025 from 9 a.m. to noon at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park.

Live Oak Creek, north of the bridge to the golf course, will be stocked with rainbow trout for the event.

There will be a self-guided casting practice station and rainbow trout fishing. To allow trout time to acclimate to water, city staff asks that the area is not fished until the day of the event.

There will be fishing poles, bait and tackle available.
