NEWPORT — Families inter-
ested in spending an enjoyable day
outdoors with a fishing rod in their
hands may want to head out to Olal-
la Reservoir near Newport on Satur-
day. The Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife and Georgia Pacific, in
cooperation with the Association of
Western Pulp and Paper Workers, are
sponsoring a day of fishing at Olalla
Reservoir.
The Olalla Reservoir Fishing
Event will take place from 8:30 a.m.
to 2 p.m. and will include a stocked
fish enclosure for youth fishing, both
youth and adult reservoir-wide fish-
ing derbies, kayak tours, nature hikes
and other fun family activities. Priz-
es will be awarded for the adult and
youth fishing derbies, and there will
also be a few prizes that every youth
participant will be entered to receive.
All activities are free.
ODFW will provide rods, reels,
tackle and bait free of charge. People
who prefer to use their own equip-
ment are welcome to bring it along.
Volunteer angling instructors will be
available at the reservoir to help par-
ticipants set up their gear, cast, reel
and even clean fish.
