Can you cast a line without snagging a shrub?

Do you know what an improved clinch knot is.

Can you tell a snapper from a snook?

Are you an ethical angler and interested in sharing those

ideals with youngsters?

If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, the

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)

asks that you consider volunteering at an

upcoming fishing clinic for children.

September 10th at Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach.

The goal of the clinic is to create responsible

marine resource stewards by teaching children about the

vulnerability of Florida’s marine ecosystems and ethical

angling skills. The FWC also strives to teach

fundamental saltwater fishing knowledge and to provide

kids with a positive fishing experience.

Volunteers are needed to work educational stations on

fishing, tackle, knot-tying, casting and other fishing basics.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please call

the Nancy Fisher at 850-488-6058 by Friday, August 26^th.
