- FISHING STATION - Students must remove all hooks from fishing gear prior to transporting it on the bus. All hooks must be enclosed in a tacklebox or similar container. If students are 15 or older, they must have a valid fishing license or they will not be permitted to fish. Students who are fishing will be transported by bus to the County Poor Farm then back to the park for lunch.
