If you've been looking for an excuse to hang out on the Red River, you'll have several Saturday.
River Keepers, the Fargo Park District, MinnAqua, North Dakota Game and Fish and Scheels will sponsor a free day of fishing fun for families.
The Fun for All Fishing Clinic will be from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Dike East in Fargo.
The clinic will include stations teaching the basics of fishing such as knot tying, casting, fish identification, safety and ethics.
It will be followed by the Lil' Fishermen's Derby from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with prizes and "fishy" art and craft projects.
