CARE Fishing Trip

DEEP Logo
Brookfield Park and Recreation is excited to partner with the DEEP Fisheries Division – Connecticut Aquatic Resources Education (CARE) program to offer a learn to "FISH with CARE" Event at Brookfield Town Beach (Candlewood Lake) on June 12th, 2024 from 4:30PM to 12:00PM. Join expert fishing coaches and learn how to get started fishing safely, legally, and successfully! The CARE program supplies all bait, tackle, and instruction – FREE OF CHARGE!
 
Registration is open at the DEEP Hunting and Fishing Education registration system (Filter by Event Type “FISH with CARE”). A Conservation Identification Number is required for registration. Space is limited to 25 participants so early sign-up is encouraged. Minimum age to participate is 6 years old, and all children are required to have a parent/guardian participate alongside them.
 
All participants ages 16 and above MUST have a valid 2024 inland fishing license – you can get your license HERE. Anglers under 16 are encouraged to register for a free Youth Fishing Passport (YFP), which supports our very popular Youth Fishing Challenge!
 
Participants should learn the basics of fishing by completing the CARE program’s self-paced Let’s Go Fishing / Vamos de Pescar online course prior to attending the FISH with CARE event.
