VIA (Very Important Angler) Membership

Is fishing more than a hobby, but a way of life? Instead of counting sheep to fall asleep, do you count blue gills? Then you might be the perfect candidate for our Very Important Angler Membership! You’ll get private access to all seven professionally managed/stocked Wildlife Prairie Park lakes and all funds raised will go to preserving and enhancing our fishing experience. Only the first 50 people who sign up will receive this very special membership. Membership opens on March 15 so sign up today!
