CASSVILLE, Mo. – Young anglers will have opportunities to fish for free at Kids’ Fishing Day, on Saturday, Aug. 21 at Roaring River State Park. This event is co-sponsored by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Kids’ Fishing Day will be held from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. At this event, an area of the park will be designated as a fishing area for youths age 15 and under.
