Title: Where do I go for.... Walla Walla Kid's Fishing!
Post by: rainshadow1 on October 11, 2013, 03:56:51 PM: Gonna be in Walla Walla next week, mid-week. Hoping... if all goes well... I will have some time to kill, so I was wondering if anybody was willing to point me at some kid fishing in the area. A bluegill/perch/crappie pond would be ideal.

Wouldn't be a lot, just an hour here, an hour there. I have 2 boys, 7 and 9, both good at casting and handling gear. Looking for some fun fishing to use up any excess daylight we have. (They've spent time salmon fishing rivers, they're troopers, but I'm looking for something with faster action for them! So, probably not the steelhead opener.)

Any leads would be appreciated!

(Trade idea = We will be at a hotel with an indoor pool if you wanted to bring your kids after dinner to have a swim party!)

There's still trout in the walla walla to catch as well. Head up to McDonald rd or swegle rd. There's public access at both places. Summer and winter steel in the streams to.good luck
