Winthrop Kids Fishing Day: the Methow Valley National Fishing and Boating Day Celebration

This popular event takes place on the second Saturday in June from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome!

Activity booths will be scattered around the site. Check out live macroinvertebrates (what are they??), have a look at how humans imitate beavers, practice your water conservation skills, play with a stream model, and more! Collect stamps for each activity in your own "passport."

Once you've collected enough stamps, children under age 14 can use one of our fishing rods (or bring your own!) to angle for trout. Volunteers and staff are ready to assist. We'll clean your catch for you, too!
