Fishing Club
with Beyond Boundaries
Join Jacob's Chance, Beyond Boundaries, and our awesome volunteers for 6 weeks of Fishing Club. During this six week educational program, we will learn everything your participant needs to know to get out and catch fish! We will be teaching all of the basics of fishing including, but not limited to: different reel options (push button, spinner, fly, etc.), casting techniques, how to string a rod, tie and bait a hook, as well as identify and remove a fish! Each day we'll be at a new location and will be a mix of fishing and education. At the end of our season we will have a surprise for all of our new anglers to help get everyone fishing on their own.
