Today, Captain Greg and Learn 2 Fish With Us proudly hosted our 525th Fishing Program, serving the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts from across the De Pere area. The event was held at the beautiful Isaac Walton League of Brown County and brought together scouts, families, and volunteers for a day of fishing education and fun.
This milestone event marked the third Fishing Program hosted this week, with Captain Greg traveling nearly 400 miles to provide fishing education and opportunities to youth and families throughout Wisconsin.
The program began with a Fishing Basics Seminar, where scouts and their families learned the skills and equipment needed to begin fishing. Topics included fishing equipment, casting, knots, bait selection, fish identification, and fishing safety. After the educational portion, participants headed to the water to put their new knowledge into practice. While fishing was a little slow, several smaller bluegills were caught, providing excitement and hands-on experience for the youth anglers.
To help continue their fishing journey, each scout received a fully rigged fishing combo and a detailed fishing education book to take home. These resources will allow them to continue practicing the skills they learned and encourage a lifelong passion for fishing and the outdoors.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make our 525th Fishing Program another successful step in our mission to grow the sport of fishing by educating and inspiring beginner and experienced anglers. We look forward to many more programs and introducing thousands more youth and families to the great sport of fishing! 🎣🐟
