  • Snappy’s is attempting to teach and encourage SPORTSMANSHIP and CONSERVATION. Therefore the FREE FISHING process is established on “catch and release”. Therefore, all tackle must be single snelled hook, either barbless or with flattened barb.
    • Flattening the barb is very easy. Simply take your pliers and squeeze the barb FLAT on the hook.
  • If your young person wishes to harvest a fish, please harvest only one. Also, should he or she wish to harvest, please teach your child that conservation is very important, and that the fish should be timely and properly cleaned, and then prepared for family dining.
  • PLEASE – Of course kids will be kids, but let’s not have any running, rock tossing, nor any child in the ponds. Please help us keep this SAFE & FUN!
