Snakeden Branch will be well stocked with hundreds of trout. All necessary equipment will be provided to make your day a success.  Plus, Trout Unlimited members will help clean the fish you catch.

Volunteers will be on hand to teach you how to bait, cast, hook and cook your freshly caught dinner.  Please wear shoes that can get wet and muddy. No sandals.

Teens and adults, ages 16 & up, who are helping must have a Virginia State Fishing License, available online at www.dgif.state.va.us.  Adults are not permitted to fish during kid’s fishing time.

Reston’s Kids’ Trout Fishing Day is made possible by a partnership with Reston Association, Northern Virginia Trout Unlimited, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc.  

Volunteers are needed to help kids learn how to fish and to help filet the fish caught.

To reserve a fishing rod for your child or to volunteer, contact Ha Brock at 703-435-7986 or email habrock @reston.org.
