Come join Polk County Senior Services for a fun day of fishing on Iowa’s Free Fishing Weekend. There will be prizes for the biggest, smallest, and most fish caught. Please bring your own pole if you have one. If not, Polk County Conservation will have a limited number available. Bait will be provided. Sack lunches will be provided to registered participants. Register at your regular senior meal site or call Matt at the Center Senior Center (515-286-3677). Participants can fish from an accessible fishing dock or natural shoreline. Adaptive fishing equipment will be available for individuals that may have difficulties sustaining grasp of a fishing pole.
