In Lake County we have a wonderful bounty of freshwater resources, including the Grand River - our only Scenic and Wild River. The free family event will focus on those species and qualities that make the Grand River unique.
Check out these fishy activities:
- View live fish
- Catch a fish in the river
- Get a free fish guide
- Learn how to cast a fly fishing rod
- Find out which fish are bad news for our river
- Listen to live music
- Meet other organizations dedicated to the protection of our rivers
One Fish, two fish..many fish call the Grand River home. Have you ever wondered about the fish that are swimming in the river? Only a few of the fish in our river systems are sport fish, so what about the rest?
 Discover the red fish, the brilliantly colored redside dace; the blue fish, the bluegill a fisherman’s favorite; the black fish, the busy blackside darter; the old fish, the prehistoric longnose gar; and the new fish, the non-native invasive common carp.
Join us as we investigate the scaly residents of the Grand River and how important they are to the river ecosystem.
Admission: Free and open the the public. No registration necessary
