On Sunday afternoon, June 23rd, Captain Greg Karch and Pipe Fishing Club members taught youth the skills and equipment needed to begin fishing. This event was held at Columbia Park which is located in Malone, Wisconsin. The afternoon started out with Captain Greg presenting his Fishing Basics seminar where they learned; safety while fishing, spin cast and spinning fishing combos, simple fishing presentations, live and artificial bait, aquatic invasive species and so much more. After the seminar, youth were split up into three groups where they attended fishing educational stations. The three stations were; how to cast safely and accurately, how to tie a Clinch and Palomar knot and fish identification.
This was Learn 2 Fish With Us third year partnering with the Winnebago Walleye Series, which makes sure families have fun activities prior to the tourneys weigh-in.
Thanks to the National Professional Anglers Association, Future Angler Foundation, and Learn 2 Fish With Us, each youth received a fishing combo, NPAA Future Pro shirt and fishing educational book.
