Creating an Angler

Picture
Join us for an educational fishing event at Lake Sugema South Boat Ramp. Providing new experiences in nature for children helps build an appreciation for the outdoors at a young age that they may carry on throughout their life. We have worms, poles and tackle...let’s just catch the fish! Bring your child to the shoreline and teach them how to fish. Experience and licenses are not required unless you plan on doing the fishing yourself. We will teach you how to encourage your angler even if you’re not an angler yourself.

Dates:
June 7th, 2025 at 10 am
