"CATCH" THE FUN OF FISHING CLUB

Join Fishing Club for a youth-focused and family-friendly fishing experience! Get ready to have fun fishing at private ponds in Wake and Harnett counties! All experience levels are welcome.

about the program

Fishing Club will meet on select Saturday mornings May through August from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

The registration fee covers a minimum of 8 weeks of fishing at private Wake and Harnett county ponds and bait each week. Awards will be given throughout the season, and we'll have morning treats on select Saturdays too!

Participants should bring their own pole(s) and are welcome to bring any of their own additional gear.

Each time you come to Fishing Club, you'll keep track of how many fish you catch, record your heavy catches, and be entered in our Participation Raffle! Awards will be given in each of the categories!

Parents or guardians should stay with their child(ren) at all times. (No drop-offs). See the FAQ section for the exception to this.
Fishing Club crew members will be happily available to help kids who want to learn how to fish or for anyone who has questions while at the ponds.

Fishing dates for the 2026 season will be updated in spring

Eight to ten Saturdays will be scheduled for our season. The time each Saturday is 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. You can arrive and start fishing at 7:00 AM or any time after, but we need to be cleaned up and done fishing by 10:00 AM each week.

Pond locations will be announced weekly to registered participants only since they are privately owned ponds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What ages is Fishing Club for?
Fishing Club is for youth ages 3-18. Please register kids in this age range only.

  I have more than one kid who wants to join Fishing Club. Do I have to register them separately?
  Yes, please register each child separately.

  Do I have to stay with my child(ren)?
  Yes, all attendees must have a responsible parent or guardian with them at all times. No drop-offs. The exception to this is: if you can drive to the pond yourself, you can be there by yourself.

  Can we bring other people with us to fish?
  No. Fishing Club is for registered participants (and their guardians) only. We want to make sure there is enough space for all
registered kids to fish and our club liability insurance covers registered kids only.
  Exception: other family members may attend (if you have visitors in town, etc.) but they cannot fish.

  Can adults fish with their registered participant(s)?
  Yes, adults can fish too! Please be mindful that there is space for all kids to fish first.

  Do I need a fishing license?
  No, a fishing license is not needed for Fishing Club locations.

  What if the weather is poor on a scheduled Fishing Club date?


  What if I can’t come every Saturday?
  That’s okay! Come on any dates that work for you. We’ll be happy to see you anytime it works for your family to attend.

  When does registration open?
  Registration typically opens in April for the upcoming season. The exact date will be shared on the Fishing Club website as soon
as it’s known.

  I’m trying to register and it’s not letting me.
  Either registration is not open yet or all spots have already been filled. While we’d love to have open enrollment, Fishing Club
has a limited number of spots available due to pond sizes and us wanting all kids to have space to fish. Unfortunately,
exceptions cannot be made.
