Want to learn how to fish, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe it’s been a while since you put tackle on a pole? Well, there’s no time like now to learn or relearn a skill! We will teach you how to bait the hook, put tackle on the pole and practice casting, and you can gain hands-on experience while fishing along the shoreline with the guidance of an instructor.
