North walpole fish and game club

With many of its members being seniors, Mr. Bertone noted that the club is concerned about keeping members safe in the pandemic. While the activities this year will be different and "lighter," Mr. Bertone states the importance of having as many outdoor activities as possible open to town residents. There will be some small activities and prizes, although "fishing will be the main show," he says.

Children and adults alike can compete in two separate contests for the biggest fish caught, as measured by weight. Small gifts and prizes will be given at the end of each time slot. Interested participants can register online under Westwood Recreation's Spring activities. The three time slots to participate in are this Saturday from a. Up to fifty participants are allowed in each time slot. Time slots are new this year, and intended to give the Recreation Department an idea of attendance.

Participants aged fifteen and over should obtain or purchase a freshwater fishing license in advance of the event. Licenses are not expensive and they are free for fifteen to seventeen year olds. Children age fourteen and under do not need a license. Once registered, participants should plan to bring a bucket, rod, and bait. Sunscreen and bug spray may also be needed. Bertone suggests families with young children may want to augment this weekend activity by adding their own hunt for live bait.

He notes that recent rainy weather may make worm catching an additional, fun activity for kids.
