The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Enid Lake and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks partnered in September to host an accessibility-friendly fishing day at the Bob Tyler Fish Hatchery’s Visitor Education Center.

Held annually on the first Saturday after Labor Day, the event gives people with various mobility levels an opportunity to fish for catfish and spend time by the water in a safe setting.
