Klineline Pond fishing closure for Kids Fish-In Event
Action: Closes Klineline Pond to fishing by the public one day prior to the fishing event on April 9 as well as the two days of the event. The pond will reopen on April 12, 2015.
Effective date:
April 09 - 12:01 a.m., entire pond closed to public fishing
April 10 - pond closed except to registered participants
April 11 - pond closed except to registered participants
April 12 - pond reopens to the public
Location: Klineline Pond is located at Salmon Creek Park, Vancouver Washington.
Species affected: Trout and other game fish.
Reason for action: This rule change is necessary to assure a safe and successful Kids Fish-In 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. The pond will reopen to the public on April 12.
The reason for keeping the pond closed after the event is to ensure the safety of the public as well as the event participants while the event is shutting down and equipment and nets are being removed. We will have several hundred feet of nets that will be pulled from the shoreline area.
Other Information: The event this year will bring in over 2500 registered kids as well as their families, friends and general members of the public.
