Senior Fishing Rodeo June 14 in New Jersey

Join Division of Fish and Wildlife staff and volunteers for a morning of fishing around the Pequest Education Pond during our first Senior Fishing Rodeo on Friday, June 14 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Registration is required for this event. Call 908-637-4125 x 0 to register and for more information.

This fishing program is open to participants aged 65 and above who hold a valid NJ fishing license and trout stamp (NJ residents age 70 and over are exempt from license/stamp requirements). If you don't have a 2019 fishing license, come a few minutes early and purchase your license and trout stamp at the front desk when you sign in.

Whether you still fish, used to fish or want to learn - we would love to share our expertise with you! Bring your chairs, equipment and nightcrawlers and get excited about fishing again!

The pond has stairs down to the water's edge and a fishing platform (limited space) for those in wheelchairs.
