Bait your hook and bring your best fishing hat!

Boulder County, Colo. - Boulder County Parks & Open Space will host its annual Senior Fish-off event on Friday, April 25.

This is a great opportunity for seniors to enjoy a morning of fishing followed by prizes and a fish fry! Participants can win awards for heaviest rainbow trout, most experienced (oldest) angler, best fishing hat, and first to catch the limit.

The pond has been freshly stocked with rainbow trout, giving anglers a great chance to reel in a prize-winning catch.

After prizes are awarded, join Boulder County Parks & Open Space staff for a fish fry. Please note: Staff will bring supplies for the fish fry. Participant catches will not be cleaned or cooked on-site, but you’re welcome to take your catch home.
