In 2014, ‘Fishing Basics’ received two awards for the education and outreach of fishing and preventing the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species. The awards were presented by Wildlife Forever and the State Of Wisconsin.
Why is our site named ‘Learn 2 Fish With Us’? Together through the partnership of our sponsors and our Angler Educators, ‘US’, we are here to help educate and inspire new and experienced anglers to fishing.
Our website and seminars teach youth, families and fisherman about safety, equipment, how to use the equipment, techniques, tips, bait and more for open water fishing and ice fishing. So, if you are a beginner or have been fishing for a while, we intend to have information you need to become a better angler!
