Founded in 1994, the KIDFISH Foundation, Inc. is a
non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Little River, Texas,
between Temple and Austin. KIDFISH is a youth outreach program
dedicated to facilitating and educating a new generation of
outdoor enthusiasts.
Our main objective at KIDFISH is to create and provide
practical fishing opportunities and educational experiences for
children and families across Texas and beyond.
KIDFISH
offers a variety of outreach fishing activities for children under
the age of 16 including the
“Catch Tank”, our portable fishing
pond that can be assembled indoors and outdoors, and KIDFISH
Community Events which are more like a fishing tournament and
typically held in local city ponds.
KIDFISH
hopes to instill in children a deep appreciation for the sport of
fishing as well as awareness and respect for the conservation of
the environment and its natural resources.
Unlike some fad sports, fishing is a lifelong pursuit that is as
much about spending quality time on the water with family and
friends as it is about catching lots of fish.
KIDFISH
events have been hosted in hundreds of communities throughout
Texas and even Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
KIDFISH
has conducted thousands of outreach programs and stocked more than
465,000 adult fish into community park ponds for families to
enjoy.
KIDFISH
is about more than just fishing. Our outreach programs give
children and families the opportunity to experience a tradition.
By introducing them to the balance of nature and the concept of
stewardship, we ensure these precious resources are protected into
and beyond the foreseeable future.
