Rangers lure ‘em in

Summertime and the fishing is easy — especially with help from the Urban Park Rangers on June 2 and June 10, from 11 am to 1 pm.

Budding anglers, 8 years and older, get a lesson on the ups and downs of fishing, the ecology of the waterways, and the best way to catch that big one before it gets away. All fishing programs are catch-and-release only and most are first-come, first served. Seining programs, which use nets, are great for children of all ages and are close to shore.

Participants must take a mandatory safety review led by a trained ranger. All equipment is provided.

Freshwater fishing is offered at Willowbrook Park on June 2, from 11 am to 1 pm, and at Clove Lakes Park on June 10, from 11 am to 1 pm. Admission to both is free.

Willowbrook Park [Eton Place and Richmond Avenue, proceed to the lake parking lot, (718) 967–3542, www.nycgovparks.org].

Clove Lakes Park (Clove Road and Park Drive, proceed to lake area; same phone and website).
