Youth Fishing Day
Each June (usually the first Saturday) the Lacombe Fish & Game Association organizes the Youth Fishing Day at the Len Thompson Trout Pond in Lacombe. Fishing instruction is provided for all participants, and fishing gear is available for use by those without their own.
Youth have a blast catching fish and also helping release fish into the pond from the Smoky Trout Farm. They also enjoy refreshments supplied by our co-sponsor the Lacombe Co-op in English Estates, as well as taking home a free fishing lure from Len Thompson Lures.
