The annual Polk County Kids Fishing Rodeo will be held May 26 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Kenview Farms.

The fishing rodeo is for children through 15 years of age. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Children must bring their own fishing equipment and are allowed one rod per child. Minnow fishing will not be allowed.

Adults are encouraged to help bait hooks and cast for children who are too small to do so, but are not allowed to fish themselves. There is an eight fish limit per child.

There is no pre-registration required.
