| Explore the world of fishing with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) at two separate Discover Nature-Fishing events in Columbia. Discover Nature-Fishing is a hands-on, four-part series that helps new anglers gain the skills and confidence they need to begin fishing on their own. Each of these free events will cover two parts of the series, and they will be held at the Boone County Nature School. On April 15 from 5:30-7:00 p.m., participants will learn parts of a fishing pole, how to cast, how to fasten tackle, and how to release a fish as a part of Lesson 1. Lesson 2 will instruct participants on how to tie fishing knows and how to secure bait on hooks. Fishing equipment and bait will be provided. Please wear close-toed shoes. A fishing license is not required for this event. This event is designed for participants ages 7 and older, and families are encouraged to participate. Students who complete all 4 Discover Nature-Fishing Lessons will go home with a free fishing reward to encourage fishing with the family. Questions about these events can be sent to Jenna Stiek at jenna.stiek@mdc.mo.gov. The Boone County Nature School is located at 8989 S. Tom Bass Road in Columbia. |
