After much discussion, planning, research, changing our mind, starting again, and cross-referencing with all other known local happenings, the Neosho National Fish Hatchery has finalized our calendar of events for 2025.
You may notice that it looks a lot like the schedules from previous years, however there are a few exceptions.
If you attended the Senior Fishing Day last year you may remember that the outdoor temperature was approximately 6,000 degrees.
Just kidding, but it was a very hot day. We were fortunate that none of our elderly and more vulnerable participants succumbed to the heat, but it got us thinking.
These events are for the enjoyment of the community, not designed to give emergency medical personnel extra work.
So, we decided to move the Senior Fishing Day from its traditional second Friday in June to the last Friday in September. It should be cooler weather and coincides with National Public Lands Day, which makes our reporting that much sweeter.
Make sure you mark these days on your calendar, and if you would like more specific information, check the options below closer to each date.
