This past week angler educator Greg Karch presented his Fishing Basic seminar at the Chicago Muskie Expo. The seminar started out with Lakken a seven year old explaining what fishing means too him. Greg then educated the youth and families on fishing which included, safety while fishing, reviewed spincast and spinning combo’s, how to cast, knots, bait used, fish identification, part of a fish, Clean, Drain, Dry message, sportsmanship and catch and release. After the Fishing Basics seminar, the Illinois Musky Trail handed out there awards to the youth for the muskies they caught this past year. Once all the awards were handed out each youth was able to build their own Musky Bucktail!!! How cool is that!!!
Each youth that attended the fishing seminar received a fishing combo or Future Pro Shirt that were donated by the National Professional Anglers Association.
