Something's Fishy
You don't have to trek very far to go fishin'. At Bob's Fishing Pier in Hermann Park, kids 12 and younger and adults 65 and older can cast their lines into McGovern Lake, which is stocked with bluegill, sunfish, channel catfish and largemouth bass. But don't go expecting to catch your dinner; rules say you have to toss 'em back. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. 6001 Fannin. For directions or information, call 713-524-5876. Free. -- Cathy Matusow
