This class is designed to introduce participants of all ages 6 and up to the sport of fishing using fun, hands-on activities. All educational materials, equipment, and bait are provided.
We will begin at Gary Halter Nature Center in Lick Creek Park. Topics will include regulations and ethics; safety; rods, reels, and terminal tackle; two useful fishing knots; assembling a spin cast rod and reel; freshwater fish identification/habitat/handling/measuring; equipping your tackle box; casting instruction/practice. We will make time for breaks throughout the class, so feel free to bring snacks and plenty of water.
The instructional portion of the event will end around 12:30. We will break for lunch, and you are free to eat at the park or grab something along the way to our optional fishing opportunity!
Weather permitting, the fishing portion of the event will begin around 1:00 at the small pond in Stephen C. Bechy Central Park. No TPWD Fishing License will be required for this event. We recommend bringing a lawn chair if you are unable to stand for long periods or do not want to sit on the ground.
Approximately half of the class time will be held in a covered outdoor area, so please dress appropriately.
Youth must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
