Through our Youth Angler Academy we offer opportunities for students of any skill level, from the beginner to the advanced, as well as for the competitive middle and high school angler. We provide clinics, workshops, and camps, as well as individual lessons that include on-the-water angler development. We offer instruction on different species of fish, fishing techniques and equipment, electronics, lures, and more.

- Beginner and Family Fishing Clinics -

A four hour fishing clinic for students in 1st-8th grades that is perfect for the beginner angler. We host the clinic outdoors in a group setting at a local body of water. Instruction is provided as students get hands on experience with the basics of fishing. Topics to include knot tying, rigging up a fishing pole, casting, baiting a hook, fish handling, and more. Students will also fish for different species that may include sunfish, bass, catfish, and trout. No experience is required and we provide all necessary equipment. These clinics are a great option for families, birthday parties, church youth groups, and other outdoor youth programs.
