Fishing Skills Rodeo!

Posted in

 

Presented by Jackie Scharfenberg, who is a naturalist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and is based at the Kettle Moraine State Forest--Northern Unit.

Let the fishing fun begin!

Ms. Scharfenberg combines her knowledge and expertise, along with a penchant for fun, as she teaches a myriad of fishing skills. Jackie will teach casting techniques and discuss fish behavior and habitat. Based on this knowledge, children will then learn how to create a lure designed specifically to catch the fish of their dreams. The rodeo includes activities and games such as: Backyard Bass casting, Fill the Tackle Box, Fishing Regulations Quiz, Avoiding Hazards, Just Not Knots, What’s the Fish, and Baiting your Hook.              

Registration is not required for this FREE program which is sponsored by the Wisconsin DNR & Friends of the Ripon Public Library.
