Admission to the event is free. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority has provided fishing opportunities at St. Johns since 1963, stocking the pond with rainbow trout each year. This year we are pleased that the Fonthill Lions Club will be providing some financial assistance to help with the stocking costs. The event provides an opportunity for individuals and families to experience the outdoors and enjoy one of the most spectacular natural areas in Niagara.
Anglers are reminded to bring a valid fishing licence as per Provincial requirements and note that there is a three-catch limit.
St. Johns Conservation Area nestled on the border of Fonthill and Thorold is a popular fishing spot for Rainbow Trout. The site features an abundance of natural beauty and scenic trails. Naturalists will welcome the unique wilderness-like experience featured throughout the network of trails in the Carolinian Forest making it an ideal spot for those who enjoy a quiet appreciation of nature.
So grab the fishing rods and join the fun on Saturday April 28th.
