Family Fishing Days each month draw child-parent
teams to Ho'omaluhia to catch and then release tilapia.
No reservations are required. Participants should come prepared with hand-held poles, small barbless hooks, bait and buckets for the tilapia "catch and release" program.
Also, wear good walking shoes for the 20-minute walk to the event area.
The park staff recommends bringing insect repellent, light raingear and a picnic lunch. There will be drinking water at the visitor center.
