Portales, NM - Oasis State Park with support from the Friends of Oasis is holding their 26th Annual Kids Fishin' Clinic on Saturday, November 5, 2016 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Kids aged 6-17 will have the opportunity to learn all about various fishing techniques, water safety, fish biology and learn the difference between a trout and a catfish by rotating through nine (9) learning stations.

"This is a time families can come out and enjoy themselves and learn, or re-learn, things about fishing," said Park Manager, Jim Whary. "It is a beautiful time of year to be at Oasis State Park."

Lunch for participants is provided at noon and sponsored by the Community Services Center and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program of Portales. Following lunch, awesome outdoor prizes like fishing rods, sleeping bags and sports equipment will be drawn. Each registered child is eligible for a door prize, so participants are asked to pre-register with the park by calling (575) 356-5331.

Regular camping and day-use fees apply. A New Mexico fishing license is required for children 12 and older. Enjoy YOUR New Mexico State Parks today! For more information, call 888'NMPARKS or visit www.nmparks.com.
