Due to inclement weather in the forecast the USDA Forest Service will host Cave Mountain Lake’s annual Kids Fishing Day on Saturday, May 14, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. instead of Saturday, May 7th.
The lake will be stocked with trout in advance of this exciting event open to children ages 3 to 15. Kids Fishing Day is a great opportunity for parents to introduce their children to fishing and to the many outdoor recreation opportunities on the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.
Fishing is free at the event, however state game laws for the Youth Fisheries Program do apply. Children are allowed to catch and keep three trout, a minimum of seven inches or longer, and should bring their own poles and any fishing supplies necessary for catching fish. A reminder to parents that only one pole per person is allowed. A parent or adult guardian must accompany all children. Bring a picnic lunch and spend the day. It is anticipated that approximately 10 trophy fish will be included in the stocking.
