Catch of the day

Summertime and fishing and seining is the catch of the day at Orchard Beach on June 17 at 11 am.

Whether you’re casting your net, or line attached to a bamboo pole, budding anglers, 8 years and older, get a lesson from the Urban Park Rangers on the ethics of fishing, ecology of the waterways, and basics of casting nets and poles. So come on down and cast your nets upon the water and see what you come up with. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Fishing and Seining workshop at Orchard Beach Nature Center [located on the boardwalk at Orchard Beach, City Island Road to Orchard Beach exit, (718) 885–3466, www.nyc.gov/parks.rangers]. June 17 at 11 am. The event is free.
