Cabela's hosts successful weekend of fishing

Sidney's Legion Park Pond was a center of activity over the past week, culminating with the Cabela's Kids Fishing Day Saturday.

Setting up the weekend, Cabela's officials and Pleasant Valley Fish Farm's Brian Hahle spent last Wednesday morning stocking the pond, putting 400 fish into the water for the enjoyment of local fishermen. Species stocked included channel catfish, rainbow trout, bluegill, yellow perch, black crapie, and large mouth bass.

As part of the stocking, a number of fish were also tagged. Lucky fishermen catching tagged fish can turn the tags into Cabela's for gift cards.
