PHOENIX -- The Arizona Game and Fish Department, along with the City of Phoenix and the Phoenix Police Department, will provide a morning of free family fishing fun Saturday at Cortez Park from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.

Youth licenses will be given out for free on a first-come, first- serve basis to the first 25 individuals, ages 10-17, who register during event hours.
The event is open to all ages, and children under 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
