Kid's Fishing Clinic - Help Needed!
It is $15, but on the website there is a link to apply for a scholarship! The LMC Education Department is looking for volunteers who would consider themselves a responsible angler to assist with our Kid's Fishing Clinic program! This program runs from December to May and participants will learn basic techniques for fishing including knot tying, casting, fish handling, and proper catch-and-release techniques. The program is primarily led by an Education Staff member, but we would greatly appreciate any assistance with the program. The Fishing Clinic typically runs on Saturdays from 10am-12pm and will possibly be offered on school holidays!
If anyone has any questions about the program or the volunteer responsibilities throughout the program, please reach out to Chris LeTourneau at cletourneau@marinelife.org
Hope to hear from our responsible anglers!
