The Games Fish & Parks is putting together a trailer with rods, fishing equipment, etc for a fishing workshop.  At this point, we can determine how long we want the workshop to be and what we would want them to teach. 

I have tentatively set a date of Monday, July 22nd.  This would be open to all youth.  (We request someone accompany the Cloverbuds or younger 4-Hers to help with the actual fishing part.)

At this time, I need your input back on…

  • Are your youth interested in attending a fishing workshop?
