2021 Event

The Grand Passage held its inaugural Youth Fishing Day on May 24, 2021. Great weather provided fun and enjoyment for all 30+ participating youth that showed up to have the opportunity to fish a nice sandpit outside of North Bend, NE.

Eight area anglers donated their boats and experience to take turns giving groups of kids rides and fishing enjoyment. All participating kids received a new fishing reel, rod, tackle box and gear to take home. The morning was wrapped up with a hot dog roast on the banks of the lake.

Thank you to all the great donations we received to support this day! We look forward to offering this opportunity again in the spring of 2022.
