Youth Fishing Rodeo

**August 2nd, 2025**

The AWF Youth Fishing Rodeo program is designed to provide Alabama’s youth a chance to experience the outdoors and learn about fishing. Join us at the ANC for our annual youth fishing rodeo! Bring the kids, a few fishing poles, and a cooler and join us early this morning down at the catfish pond! Children 15 and under can catch and take home up to 5 catfish each (catfish only), but can catch and release all they want! Make sure to register online (below) or call ahead (334-285-4550) and put your name on the list, space fills up quickly! Admission is free, snacks and drinks will also be available.

22nd Annual AWF Youth Fishing Rodeo

When: Saturday, August 2, 2025
Time: 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Where: Lanark in Millbrook

Each participant may take home five catfish each, but may catch and release all they would like. Snacks and drinks will also be available. Participants will also be eligible for door prizes during the event.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own fishing equipment and bait, though a limited number of loaner rods and reels and some bait will be available on site.

Be a Volunteer!

Members of the AWF Volunteer Fishing Team enjoy the opportunity to influence a child’s life forever while making life-long friends. Just ask long-time fishing team member Abner Straughan. “This fishing team is a great way to spend your time. Everyone on the team is great to work with. And helping the kids learn how to fish is the best experience in the world.”

Contact Matt Vines at mvines@alabamawildlife.org for volunteer information.
