About this Event:

Adults and families who want to learn how to fish on their own will get instruction and have fun practicing skills including setting up a rod, baiting a hook, tying knots, casting, and identify fish. Bring your own equipment or borrow ours. When you arrive, instructors will cover the fishing basics with the balance of the time spent fishing! To get the most out of the in-person class, participants are encouraged to watch MassWildlife's online video tutorial before the day of the class. You will receive a link to the video with your confirmation email when you register. This class is designed for adults and families; participants ages 14 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
