The Mammoth Spring National Fish Hatchery is set to host its annual Fish Fest on Tuesday, September 26, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event, held at the Aquatic Conservation Center, invites children 15 years old and younger to enjoy a day of fishing and outdoor fun.
Participants should bring their own fishing gear, live worms as bait, a bucket or cooler to store their catch, and a comfortable chair. Organizers emphasize that worms are the only live bait allowed to protect the local fishery. The daily limit is three catfish per person.
For the safety and comfort of all attendees, pets and emotional support animals are not permitted at the event. Visitors are encouraged to adhere to the event guidelines and show respect to others in attendance.
The hatchery, located at 302 Fish Hatchery Lane in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, will provide an opportunity for kids and their families to enjoy the outdoors while contributing to aquatic conservation efforts.
