Kids passport to fish
LOCAL kids for a passion for fishing are encouraged to get their fishing “passports” through a special program run by the Tablelands Fish Stocking Society and International Game Fish Association.
LOCAL kids for a passion for fishing are encouraged to get their fishing “passports” through a special program run by the Tablelands Fish Stocking Society and International Game Fish Association.
Hosted at Lake Tinaroo on 15 May, kids will learn basic tackle, knot tying, conservation, environmental stewardship, casting, and angling safety during the program. Once they complete the tasks at each station, they receive a mark on their passports.
After their passports are complete, the young anglers can get a rod and reel to test their newly acquired skills for the duration of the clinic. Even though the clinic is designed for young anglers, participation by the entire family is highly encouraged and a certificate of recognition will be given to each young fisher at the completion of the clinic.
For further information contact the North Queensland IGFA Representative, Laurie Wright on 4095 2260 or 0427 556 039 or email laurie@australianfishingexpeditions. com More information on passports to fishing is available at igfa.org/passports-tofishing
