This is a day fishing on the river for the kids. They will be fishing with a licensed guide on the McKenzie River. A hot breakfast will be provided prior to getting on the river. Upon their return, a BBQ lunch will be waiting for them. Parents are invited and encouraged to join their child(ren) for breakfast and lunch. The guides are experienced and know where all the good fishing holes are. The kids will get to keep the fish they catch, the guides will clean them for them. This will be a super fun day on the river for the kids! Parking is available and you will be given a parking pass for the day.
