Klineline Pond Hooked on Fishing Youth Event

April 9, 2014

Action: Closes Klineline Pond to fishing by the public.

Effective dates:

May 9 - 12:01 a.m., entire pond closed to public fishing.

May 10 - Pond closed except to registered participants.

May 10 at 4:00 p.m. pond reopens to the public.

Location: Klineline Pond is located at Salmon Creek Park, Vancouver, Wash.

Reason for action: This rule change is necessary to assure a safe and successful Hooked on Fishing Youth event. The fish will be planted one day prior to the event to better acclimate them before the event. Several thousand fish will be placed into netted areas along the shoreline of the pond. On the days of the event, pre-registered kids will be allowed to fish within these netted areas.
