Kids Fishing Day at Baily's Pond reels in good times
Baily's Pond in South Carson hosted a free Kids Fishing Day Saturday to encourage young anglers into the sport of fishing.
The pond was stocked and ready for the little reelers to catch their dinners for the night. A cleaning station was available on site to help with getting their fish ready to take home.
Reader Terri Zittel snapped the above photos of the festivities.
