Fishing Clinics (Pre-registration Required)
Youth Beginner Clinics, Ages 5-15
Fishing is for beginner youth participants ages 5-15. This learn to fish clinic is for those with little to no fishing experience. We will provide bait and tackle. Sessions will begin at 8am, 9am, and 10am, with each of them extending until noon—choose ONE of these as your START time. Following initial instruction for each session (~30 min), participants will have the opportunity to fish with Fishing in the City equipment up until 12-noon. Fishing fundamentals such as casting, bait presentation, reeling in your catch, conservation, and more will be covered. Family members are welcome to come and learn. When you register, include the person(s) fishing (Ages 5-15) and any friends or family members that will be present during the clinic as well. These are rain or shine events, so dress accordingly.
Note: All participants must use the Fishing in the City rod/reels and the rigs as they are. This helps to ensure equal opportunity.
