Comments Off on Oklahoma Wildlife Expo introduces visitors to fishing

Some would say if you have never had a chance to catch a fish, then you really haven’t experienced Oklahoma, but you can at this year’s sixth annual Oklahoma Wildlife Expo slated for Sept. 25-26.
The Wildlife Expo, held at the Lazy E Arena just north of Oklahoma City, provides visitors a chance to fish for free in a stocked pond. Other angling-related opportunities at the Expo include seminars, bowfishing simulations, kids casting games, fly fishing and fly-tying lessons, fish filleting demonstrations and exhibits hosted by Wildlife Department fisheries personnel. Visitors can speak with experts on a range of fishing topics such as the Wildlife Department’s paddlefish program, black bass tactics, fishing tackle and more. Visitors can even sample delicious fried fish at the Expo’s popular Taste of the Wild booth, where volunteers serve up free samples of wild game snacks.
