Klineline Kids Fishing Nonprofit

 The Klineline Kids Fishing Derby is the largest event of its kind in the state of Washington and is a 100% volunteer-operated organization. 

Over a two-day period each spring some 3,000 participants (kids and people with disabilities), gather at Klineline Pond in Vancouver, WA, to experience fishing, playing outside, and learning about our natural environment and water safety. Including the participants, families and friends, and multiple community organizations about 10,000 people from all over SW Washington and the greater Portland area attend the event 

Our fishing event positively impacts the lives of the children and people with disabilites. It's easy to see in their happy faces and hear it in their voices as they excitedly tell their "big fish" stories. We see success in increasing numbers of participants each year, as well as increasing numbers of volunteers and sponsors who contribute in some way to make this community event a success.
