AKWESASNE -- Now in its seventh year, the annual Kids for Fishing continues to be a much-anticipated event that allows 50 Akwesasne youth each year to fish and learn alongside professional anglers.

First envisioned by Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Police (SRMTPD) Corporal P.J. Burns and Constable Norman King in 2011, youth between the ages of 10-17 years old are randomly selected to participate, with 10 spots reserved each year for children with special needs.
