During Wisconsin’s Free Fishing Weekend, Learn 2 Fish With Us hosted a fishing clinic on Saturday and Sunday. Today’s fishing clinic was open to the public and was held at High Cliff State Park, which is located on the northern shores of Lake Winnebago in Sherwood, Wisconsin. At 10 AM, our fishing clinic kicked off with the teaching of the skills and equipment needed to begin fishing. Attendees learned; safety while fishing, spin cast and spinning fishing combos, casting, setting the hook, simple fishing presentations, knots, live and artificial bait, fish identification, aquatic invasive species, catch and release and so much more. After the seminar, each youth received a fully rigged Shakespeare fishing combo, NPAA Future Pro shirt and Shakespeare fishing educational book, thanks to our great sponsors and the Future Angler Foundation.
After the Fishing Basics seminar, families went fishing in the Butterfly pond utilizing their newly rigged fishing combo. Fishing was challenging, but, some rainbow trout, perch, bluegills and some pumpkinseeds were caught. These youth and families are looking forward to the rest of summer as they all plan on getting out fishing!!
