Kicknbass Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Does anyone have the date and details on Kids day at Maramec Springs? I have a Cub Scout den that I would like to take fishing. I have never been to the kid’s day at any of the parks, but hear that the kids have a ball. Details and comments appreciated. " Too many hobbies to work" - "Must work to eat and play"
10pointer Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 http://justtrout.netfirms.com/index.html its going to be may 20th, 2006 this year here's a link the people that run it sent me to. They came into my work to pick up a bunch of prizes for the kids day and are great people. I plan to be a stream walker and help the kids out if my schedule stays open like it is now. Last year i heard there was a turnout of 1800+ kids down at meramec. The kids day down there has quite a bit of sponsors and alot of prizes and things to be given away. Karen and her husband who runs the kids day came in and picked up about 50 rod and reel combos from my work. It sounds like a fun day for the kids and im looking forward to helping out. Also they asked if anyone would like to volunteer they are more than welcome to.
Kicknbass Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks 10pointer. It looks like a great event. I hope to get the den down to enjoy the day. " Too many hobbies to work" - "Must work to eat and play"
shawncat Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Ahhh...kids day.They usually close the upper half [down to the bathroom hole]to adults, kids only.The lower half can be fished by all.Dough bait,white or rainbow power bait fished with a small treble hook #12.Dough bait with a small slotted bobber no weight.Power bait,no bobber but put a small split shot about 12 to 18 inches above hook[lots of moss the power bait floats].Try this,brown and serve rolls tear them into small pieces.Philadelphia cream cheese mix together.LOTS of garlic powder!!!Remember to make them wash their hands before getting in your truck.SHUWEEE!!!Good luck and don't forget your forceps.
Kicknbass Posted March 17, 2006 Author Posted March 17, 2006 Thanks Shawncat. That dough bait sounds like a mess. Just the thing that 8 year old boys would love. Thanks for the advice. " Too many hobbies to work" - "Must work to eat and play"
