Bayou Family Fishing
Spring Rodeo

"Let's get as many families on the water as we can"

📅 April 25, 2026  ·  Begins at Sunrise 📍 Meet at Home Base  ·  View on Map ↗ ☀️🌧️ Rain or Shine

Join us for our first rodeo and help us make Bayou Charity and Bayou Family Fishing a success. For our first rodeo, we are making this a team event with one prize. Let's prove to ourselves and to our future members that we are here to stay. Next time we'll get competitive and name individual winners, but on April 25th 2026, we all win.

We'll have guides waiting at sunrise, so come earlier and get a pro captain. BFF members with boats will be on standby to take participants out on the water. Trips will last about three hours, so we can rotate back and pick up more participants. Dock fishing and shore-side entertainment will take place all day. Join in at the BFF beginners table for fishing basics, or help train our new members by leading small groups from tying their first rig to casting lines in Deer Range Canal.
