Fishing in the City: Brannan Island State Recreation Area

About this event

This Fishing in the City event in partnership with State Parks introduces youth ages 5-15 and adults 16 and up to fishing in the channels and sloughs of the Delta. Learn what to fish and how to fish along a bank or pier through local fish identification, fishing ethics, equipment needed, rigging, knot tying, baiting, and casting a fishing rod.

Meet at the wooden pier towards the back of the park. Continue straight upon entering, drive straight past the boat launch until the parking lot ends with the wooden pier on your right before a roundabout. Participants ages 16 and up require a fishing license, which can be purchased at CDFW’s Online License Sales page. Some fishing poles will be available for loan during the event or participants can bring their own. The event is first come, first served. There is a $10 parking fee to stay in the park after the program. For questions, email sabreena.britt@wildlife.ca.gov .
