This 2-hour class is being offered for women anglers and will be geared towards beginners looking to learn more about the fundamentals of fishing and gain enough knowledge to fish confidently, as well as rusty anglers looking to get back into the sport.

Participants will learn core fishing skills including simple but versatile rigging, bait, and gear selection, followed by an hour of fishing with DNR staff. All equipment will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own gear to learn with if they have it.
