What says "relaxing summer day" more than fishing? Nothing! So as the latest perk in Park & Recreation Month, Evergreen Park & Recreation District is offering FREE FISHING all weekend at Buchanan Ponds. And that starts Friday, because nothing says "summer" like a relaxing long weekend. Grab your rod and reel, a kid or two, and head to the ponds next to Buchanan Rec Center from 7 AM-7 PM each day.
The ponds at Buchanan Park Rec Center make an exceptional fishery, but paid permits are usually required, for $10 (DR) and $13 (NDR). Here are the other rules of the ponds:
* Nets and barbless flies are required.
* Catch and release only.
* Float tubes permitted. No boats.
Questions? Call Buchanan Park Rec Center, 720-880-1100.
