“PASSPORT TO FISHING” WORKSHOP OFFERED IN GREENVILLE
Seats still available for February 22nd Instructor Class
XENIA, OH – Would you like to teach the basics of fishing to youth in your community? A “Passport to Fishing” instructor workshop is being offered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. The workshop will be held on February 22, 2008 at Darke County Parks, Greenville. This training session will begin at 8:00 a.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m.
“Passport to Fishing” is sponsored in part by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. It is a quick and easy program intended to be used with half-day and whole-day fishing events. Fishing fundamentals are taught including casting, knots and rigging, habitat and handling. It is tailored so that instructors, even without much knowledge of aquatic education, can teach young people how to fish. Passport is geared towards youth ages 4 – 17, and is promoted as an easy way to learn the basics of angling, get kids outdoors and on the road to a lifetime of recreational activity.
Interested individuals can register by calling Jennifer McCray at 1-800-WILDLIFE or at (614) 265-6539.
