Families and fishermen who want to learn all aspects of carp fishing are invited to Carp-O-Rama on Saturday, June 27, at Pawnee State Recreation Area in Lancaster County.

The free event takes place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the east side of the lake, near the boat ramp.

Carp is an excellent fish for beginning anglers to pursue because they are plentiful statewide and the required equipment is relatively simple. The strong-fighting fish also is not restricted by bag, possession limits or size limits.

How-to carp fishing seminars by Game and Parks Commission fisheries outreach program manager Daryl Bauer will be held throughout the day.
