| Trip Description | Buckeye Veterans Fly Fishing are meeting at the Kingswood Park pond for a morning of fishing and camaraderie. Formerly a golf course, this pond holds sunfish, blue gills, largemouth, and if you’re up for it, big carp. Also a good opportunity to work on your casting skills and learn some options for still water fishing. Want to try Tenkara? Tenkara is the art of Japanese fly fishing—a rod, a line, and a fly. Give it a try.
All Veterans are welcome.

Park in the lot on Duke Blvd across from Montessori Academy of Cincinnati to shorten the walk.
