A youth fishing event in memory of Mike Sabins will be held at Ayer Park in Union on June 10 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Ayer Park is located on Route 235 and was chosen because it is easy to find and well-suited to a children’s event. The event is sanctioned by the Hooked on Fishing program and equipment will be provided. Refreshments will also be provided and anglers will receive a certificate of participation. Children are encouraged to attend the event with an adult.

The event is the third for the Mike Sabins Memorial Youth Fish and Game organization. In response to the death of their son, Mike, Scot and Mary Sabins are organizing a group focused on teaching Maine kids about their outdoor heritage.

They hope to be able to offer events, activities and courses for young people to experience the outdoors.

For more information about the event or to offer to help, call Scot or Mary at 785-4076.

Penobscot Fly Fishers to meet

The Penobscot Fly Fishers will hold their monthly dinner meeting on Wednesday at the Coach House Restaurant in Brewer.

Davey Ferris will conduct casting lessons beginning at 5 p.m. in the parking lot behind the restaurant. No speaker is scheduled, but an auction and raffles will be held to help raise money for the club and reduce inventory.

Appetizers will be provided during the preview, starting at 5:30. Dinner will be served off the menu, and silent auctions will be held throughout the evening.

Some of the items up for bids will be a float trip on the Penobscot River, flies, fly lines, tying materials, books, hooks and tying equipment.

The meeting is open to the public.
