Clarksville, TN – The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is thrilled to announce the annual Youth Fishing Rodeo, set to take place on Saturday, June 8th, 2024, at the scenic Liberty Park Pond in Clarksville.
This cherished community event is open to all youth aged 15 and under, offering a fun and engaging opportunity to foster a love for fishing and the great outdoors.
In preparation for the event, the Liberty Park pond will be closed to public fishing starting Tuesday, June 4th, ensuring the pond is well-stocked and ready for the young anglers. The rest of Liberty Park will remain accessible to the public both before and during the event.

The Youth Fishing Rodeo is a free event that begins with registration on June 8th at 7:00am at Liberty Park. Fishing kicks off promptly at 7:30am and continues until the final weigh-in at 9:00am.
An awards ceremony will immediately follow, where young participants will be recognized for their efforts and achievements. Throughout the event, door prizes will be handed out to add to the excitement. Pre-registration is not required, making it easy for families to participate.
