Why "Take a Kid Fishing"?

  • Fishing is a fantastic way to spend quality time with a child interacting with them in meaningful ways--away from the stress and interruptions of everyday life.  Where better than fishing to find out what's on their minds and share your values with them?
  • Fishing is an opportunity to teach kids about the diversity of nature and our dependence on a healthy environment, and how people can improve or destroy habitats that have consequences for both wildlife and people.
  • Fishing is a lifetime sport that will provide many hours of recreation, relaxation and time with family and friends.
  • Fishing is a physical activity that helps develop coordination skills without being overly strenuous or competitive and gets them outdoors.
  • Fishing is a way to spark interest in learning more about how to fish effectively, the fish themselves and nature, by reading, exploring the Internet and discussing their experiences with peers.
  • Fishing is fun!
