Learn 2 Fish With Us recently hosted a Bike and Fish opportunity at Delaware State Park with volunteer and board member Mark Moran and volunteer Bethany Blumenshein.
The day began with a 5-mile bike ride along the scenic trails winding through the campground before participants gathered for a Fishing Basics seminar. During the seminar, youth learned the skills, techniques, and equipment needed to successfully target catfish—one of Ohio’s most popular fish species.
After the educational session, it was time to put those new skills into action. Participants learned about the different species of catfish as they were caught and reeled in throughout the day. For several youth, the goal was simple: catch their first catfish. Thanks to their determination and the guidance of our volunteers, that goal became a reality!
The group started fishing at the youth pond before exploring additional shoreline locations. The best action was found along the lower portion of the dam, where anglers enjoyed steady success and created memories that will last a lifetime.
A huge thank you goes out to all of our sponsors who made this event possible by providing fishing combos, shirts, and fishing educational books. Your generosity continues to help Learn 2 Fish With Us introduce the next generation to the great sport of fishing while creating positive outdoor experiences for youth and families.
Every fish caught, every mile biked, and every smile shared helped make this another successful Learn 2 Fish With Us event! 🎣🚲
