IMPORTANT:
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ATTENDED ONE OF OUR FISHING CLINICS YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND THIS CLINIC.
This event is geared towards BEGINNER youth (and their parents) who have a desire to learn how to fish but have had NO previous instruction or introduction.
We teach the beginner basics for trout fishing in streams. We supply ALL gear but you are welcome to bring your own if you want!
Activities include:
- Introduction to Trout in Pennsylvania
- The Basics of Fishing (knot tying and casting)
- Hands on Fishing
NO GEAR REQUIRED! WE SUPPLY EVERYTHING!
YOU HEARD OF THE TROUT MAGNET?
It is the best artificial lure on the market to catch trout or panfish!
Special thanks to our friends at Leland Lures and the Trout Magnet for their continued support of our Youth Fishing Programs!
Far too many kids today are glued to their screens, constantly “connected” to the digital world. This generation is the first to grow up surrounded by smartphones and Wi-Fi 24/7, and we don’t yet know the long-term effects of this constant connectivity. However, we can already see the short-term impact: more kids are struggling with obesity than ever before.
So why not encourage them to unplug and get outside—with a fishing rod in hand?
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of feeling a fish tug on your line. It’s an experience no screen or game can replicate. Getting outdoors and connecting with nature is a great way for kids to break free from their devices and create lasting memories while learning valuable skills.
As of July 1, 2016, PA Act153, requires that ALL minors (anyone under the age of 18), must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when on club grounds, at any time, for any reason.
