FAQ

What age range is this for?

This event is geared toward children who would like a positive fishing experience where they are likely to catch a fish. However, people of all ages are welcome.

Can I keep the fish I catch? Are they safe to eat?

Yes and yes. The fish are farm-raised catfish and safe for consumption. There is a limit to how many fish each family brings home, and that number will be shared on the day of the event.

Can I get my fish cleaned/filleted at the event?

No. While this a service the City used to provide, we are not able to offer it at this time.

Is the pool chlorinated when the fish go in?

No. Two weeks prior to the event, sodium thiosulfate is used to remove the chlorine. It’s the same chemical people use to remove chlorine from tap water for their fish tanks. 

Is the pool cleaned after the event?

Yes. The pool is cleaned and shocked after the event.
