Captain Bill Poisson with his catch of the day in 1953

Discover the wonders of life under the waves of Reed's Lake with a fun afternoon of fishing trivia, lore, and legend and uncover ways we affect the lake environment.

HAVE YOU CAUGHT A KEEPER?
Share your photographs with us!
People can start bringing in their photos anytime.
They should be unframed.
We'll put them on display on the orange wall upstairs, outside the East Grand Rapids History Room and downstairs on the magnetic wall in the juvenile fiction area (we'll
make color copies and put them in both locations).

The pics should be no bigger than 8x10.

People should write on the back any pertinent info
i.e. fish size, weight, where they caught it..that would be great! Identification cards will be posted next to each picture.

Saturday, June 27. 2:00pm - 4:00pm

For all ages - Free - No registration required.
