For all of you kids and adults who want to try your hand at casting, tying fishing knots or just want to talk about fishing, be sure to stop by our area this Sunday, April 28 starting at 10am at the YMCA at 100 Wright Crescent, Kingston, ON
I am also going to be "fishing" for interest in running other courses teaching fishing to youth. This course will be open to any 10-13 year olds, boys and girls but to a select number. It will be slightly modified from the current course we are running right now, but the information will remain the same that is being presented. All we are looking for at this time is interest, your name, your age, and your contact information so we can call on you as we move forward. This course may be taught on-site at the YMCA here in Kingston once a week. Another local angler will be on-site as well helping out and his fishing rig (truck and boat) will be front and center for all of you (me) to admire. Thanks to Nelson Pereira for joining us to spend time teaching the tricks of the trade to our next generation of anglers. Nelson is the Club President of the Rideau Lakes Bassmasters and he knows many of the hot spots on our local lakes so look through his tackle box for the "go-to-lures." On that note there will be a raffle to win a day fishing with Nelson and I this summer, dates pending. Five names will be drawn and the individuals will be contacted in order of the draw. If the first can't attend then the second and so on will be contacted. If you are between the ages of 10 and 13 be sure to get your name in. It was a great opportunity for Wil Hofmann, picture below who was the lucky draw selected for 2018. Parents and guardians often accompany their children on fishing expeditions, so it's also important that they learn a bit about the sport so they can enjoy this quality time spent with each other. http://www.kingston.ymca.ca/ Hope to see you there!
