Each spring MDTU stocks rainbow trout in Baltimore's Leakin Park , in preparation for "City Catch", a day of trout fishing fun and streamside learning for local students hosted by chapter volunteers in partnership with Baltimore City's Department of Recreation and Parks.
On Friday, April 11th we will be stocking 800 rainbow trout in Dead Run in Leakin Park. On Saturday, April 12th a group of kids from Baltimore City Rec Centers will arrive at around 9:00am to enjoy a morning of fishing with the help of our volunteers.
Each child receives a free spinning rod and reel, and bobbers, hooks, and bait are supplied too. Everyone has a great time. Lunch is served for all, and the event is generally over by 1:00pm. Please join us for this fun Saturday morning and help bring joy to a group of youngsters.
We need volunteers on two days:
Stocking the Stream. On Friday, April 11, we will stock 800 rainbow and brown trout in Dead Run, a pretty stream in Leakin Park. Fish stocking, always a fun and interesting activity, will begin at approximately 11am. (Volunteers will receive specific details once known.)
Volunteers are NEEDED to teach kids fishing
