Lake Corpus Christi State Park will host its 34th annual Kid Fish event on Saturday, January 24, 2026! 

Children ages 5-12 are invited to try fishing for the first time or perfect their skills. 

We will provide free take-home fishing rods for participating kids! 

Don't forget to check out the educational booth area as well!

Fishing rods will be handed out to participants on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at 9 am the day of the event. Supplies are limited. Participants must be present to sign up.

Meet: Check-in at the front office starting at 9 am. The event will be in the Whitetail Run Day Use Area and the long fishing pier.

Bring: Weather-appropriate clothing, water, and sun protection.

Cost: Park entry is free for this event.  

Note:

• Due to low lake levels this year, rainbow trout will not be stocked. Participants will be encouraged to fish for typical lake species. The area will be baited for a week before the event to encourage fish to hang around the event area.
• This program is weather-dependent. In the case of severe weather, it may be canceled.
• Reserving a day pass online does not guarantee participation in Kid Fish 2026. Wristbands that guarantee a free fishing rod to participants are passed out at the front office on a first come, first serve basis starting at 9 am the day of the event.

Above all, we want children and families to learn more about fish and the outdoors.
