First Timer Fishing

Learn to fish with Naturalist Dora! Or maybe you already know the basics of fishing and want to learn a few more things! We will identify native Minnesota fish, practice casting, learn how to tie strong knots, rig a pole, and hopefully catch a fish, and release it! This program is for people above the age of 6 who want to learn how to fish. All are welcome. Meet at the Picnic shelter.

All materials will be provided. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Dress for the weather that day. Sunscreen and bug spray are encouraged. This program will be cancelled in the event of bad weather.
