Fishing Day

The Columbia Falls Rotary Club will host a Family Fishing Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 18 with poles and bait provided by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks for kids who don’t have their own at River’s Edge Park.

The event is sponsored by the Rotary Club, the City of Columbia Falls, and the FWP. Working together the groups are planning to build fishing platforms and eventually a pier from which children of all ages will have safe and secure access to the pond.

The idea of the event is to showcase the pond and to begin fundraising efforts for the pier and platforms.
