On Monday, March 9th, Captain Greg from Learn 2 Fish With Us hosted two Fishing Basics seminars for the fourth-grade students at Omro Elementary School. The interactive seminars introduced students to the equipment and skills needed to begin fishing while making learning fun and engaging.
During the program, students learned a wide range of fishing fundamentals including:
- Fishing safety
- Spin-cast and spinning fishing combos
- How to cast safely and accurately
- Simple fishing presentations
- How to tie the Clinch and Palomar knots
- Fish identification
- Live and artificial bait
- Aquatic invasive species and how to stop their spread
And much more!
At the end of the seminar, each student received a Learn 2 Fish With Us Certified Angler shirt and a fishing educational book, made possible thanks to our amazing sponsors and donors.
The excitement and enthusiasm from the students were incredible—as you can see in the photos!
This marked the fourth year that Learn 2 Fish With Us has hosted fishing seminars at Omro Elementary. Dave, the principal, along with the teachers, were thrilled to welcome us back again. They continue to share how much they appreciate the program and the fun, educational experience it provides for their students.
Programs like this help inspire the next generation of anglers while teaching valuable outdoor skills that can last a lifetime.
