Senior Adults, age 50 and older, are invited to fish in Auburn’s Mill Pond on Oravetz Road, across from Auburn Riverside High School on June 12-13.

The pond is normally designated for juvenile fishing only, however, the Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Department has arranged for this special opportunity. Thanks to the Green River Steelhead Trout Club and Auburn Sports and Marine, the pond will be stocked. No licenses are necessary, as the event is held on Washington’s free fishing weekend.

The Senior Fishing Derby held 9 a.m.-noon on June 12. Tackle, bait and rods will be provided for those who need it. A plaque will be awarded to the angler who catches the largest fish. During the derby there will be free hot dogs sponsored by Canterbury House and Auburn Senior Wellness Team.

For more information, call the Auburn Senior Activity Center at 253-931-3016.
