Children and their special “big person” can come to Smithgall anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and fish in one of two stocked ponds. The ponds are stocked with catfish, bass, and bream. Fish caught from the ponds can be kept.
For those who are not avid anglers, there will be a staff member available to assist with fishing technique. Fishing rods are available on-site and bait can be purchased at the Shell Station just across from the entrance gate on Highway 75.
