Looking for a fun, low-cost way to get outside and try fishing? This hands-on program introduces the modern fiberglass cane pole — an easy-to-use, affordable twist on a classic fishing style. You’ll learn the basics of casting, landing and handling fish, and simple pole and line maintenance tips. After the instruction portion, participants will head to the water for a relaxed catch-and-release fishing session to practice their new skills. No experience or equipment needed — cane poles will be provided. In the event of weather-related cancellation, registrants will be notified by email at least 24 hours prior to the start of the program. DAVID J BRUNS
