Sessions led by certified instructors from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department.
Sessions set up into 5 stations -
* Basic Tackle and Fishing Knots - how to tie hooks and lures to line, creating a bobber/sinker/hook rig.
* Fish and Bait - types of fish and bait fish prefer.
* Learn to Cast - proper and safe way to cast your line.
* Fishing Regulations and Safety - knowing the rules and being safe while fishing make this an enjoyable sport.
* Ethics - why you should do the right things and know what the wrong things are as related to fishing.
As each child (defined as ages 3-17) goes to each station, they will be gathering items for their tackle box. Each child finishes the clinic with a tackle box of needed items.
Each child attending the clinic must be accompanied by an adult.
