The Taylorville Police Department will be holding an event for youth at the Lake Taylorville Marina. The event is called “Fishing with Offishers” and will be a way for kids to learn some of the rules about fishing. Taylorville Police Officer and coordinator Kirsten Bolinger says that it’s a great way to do a learning experience this Friday from 6-8 PM. 

DNR will be there to talk to the kids and teach them some of the rules about fishing and some of the dos and dont’s.  

There will be 20 fishing poles and tackle available for those who don’t have a fishing pole but you are encouraged to bring your own. 

Those under the age of 15 do not need a fishing license for the event, those 16 and up, do.
