Amazing program! We enjoyed fishing and the staff was wonderful to make sure no child was excluded from catching! Wide variety of fish caught and each staff member celebrated each child's catch!

Thank you so very much for letting us have a special time at your park fishing with my son-in-law & family. The staff was so friendly & helpful with everything and especially taking the time to see that the young kids had a very special time fishing. What a great service you provide and it was appreciated so very much!

I haven't been fishing in 20 years or more and it was my sons first time so we had no clue of how to fish, the staff showed us how to cast and bait, they were very helpful. Loved it, we'll definitely be back.

honestly what a great place the helpers really care about the kids and it's such a fun thing for them!

The kids had a good time Mariah caught 5 Fish Damyn caught one the Cub Scout Pack had a great time altogether

We had a birthday party for our 6 year old and it was great! Kids loved fishing, equipment and bait was all set up when we got there and right by the edge the water is just 1ft deep, nobody had to worry if a kid would fall in.

Fantastic experience working with this volunteer team. I coordinated an event with them for this part weekend and the support they provided onsite was outstanding. We had many families with children fishing for the first time and they helped make it a memorable experience. Thank you Hooked on Fishing team!

I've been going here for fishing for the last 6 years. In my opinion, it's one of the best fishing spots in Illinois. Perhaps one of the best in the entire Midwest. I've caught some good fish here. It's great for all fishermen! I highly recommend it!

This is a great place to teach kids how to fish. They provide everything including stocked ponds. If you get into trouble they are there to help. Very helpful staff with no judgment. It is catch and release. Thought they said it was only open to the public one day, maybe Sundays, a week.

Can't say enough about Hooked on Fishing. My grandson and I go there every Sunday right after church. Such a wonderful place for families to relax, connect, and enjoy nature. To observe a child catching their first fish is sheer delight. And to know the community service that Hooked on Fishing provides for groups of adults and children during the week is so encouraging. The Peoria area is the better for the presence of Hooked on Fishing!!!

For a nonprofit, they are doing a fantastic job, free to the public on Sunday. With tree gear and bait. Fish were not biting, but still a great time.
