Since 1995 thousands of youngsters and adults have taken part in Great Falls annual fishing day for kids.  A few of them catch fish, while everyone learns something at the educational events.

Our goal is to familiarize youngsters with the basic elements of fishing; including types of tackle, casting, fly-tying, fish identification, safety and fishing ethics.

Each year the Great Falls Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited provides 1,000 free fishing rod and reel combinations or tackle boxes. Those who attend a series of educational presentations will receive fishing gear.  Missouri River Flyfishers supports the event through donations, time and materials. Board members setup vises and tie woolly buggers for kids to fish with.

Wadsworth Pond is located on the West side of Great Falls.  Take Central Avenue West to 34th Street NW, turn on Wilkinson Lane and follow the signs to the pond.

We’re looking for volunteers! We need 1-2 fly tiers who have their own vises they can bring. We need an additional 2-3 volunteers who don’t have to know anything about flies or fishing. Please reach out the mrftu406@gmail.com if you’d like to volunteer!
