Fishing

In the 4-H Fishing Project we will offer youth a hands-on opportunity to learn angling skills, aquatic ecology, and conservation principles. Participants will learn some fundamental knot tying, casting techniques, and about the different types of tackle, bait and other equipment, while also learning about fish identification, habitat, the aquatic food chain, fishing regulations, and the ethics of responsible angling. 

The project promotes leadership, outdoor activity, and a deeper understanding of aquatic environments, encouraging youth to become stewards of natural resources. We plan on having two fishing trips throughout the year at different locations like the San Francisco Bay, the Delta, lake or freshwater stream. 

Age: 12+

Limit: 5 participants

When: Two Sunday trips + one Tuesday auction item meeting. Sept. 27th 6:00am-4:00pm; Dec 1 - 5:30pm-7:00pm; Mar 14 - 6:00am-4:00pm  

Where: Bay Area (you will need to provide your own travel to finishing locations)

Cost: TBD. We will try to source equipment so minimally costs are involved.
