Casting for Kids, an annual summer event held as a memorial to anglers Steve Thrun and Joe Walters, will be held on May 22 at Lake Herman State Park. Registration begins at 10 a.m. The event is being held during the South Dakota State Park system's open house and free fishing weekend. Lake Herman, like other state parks and recreation areas, will offer free entrance. In addition, no fishing licenses are required, though fishing regulations and limits still apply. Casting for Kids was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In previous years, the event was well attended with 41 children registered in 2018 and 50 in 2019.
