Through our Youth Angler Academy we offer opportunities for students of any skill level, from the beginner to the advanced, as well as for the competitive middle and high school angler. We provide clinics, workshops, and camps, as well as individual lessons that include on-the-water angler development. We offer instruction on different species of fish, fishing techniques and equipment, electronics, lures, and more.

-Individual Angler Development-

Individual lessons are provided for students in 5th-12th grades who seek to enhance their current skills and learn more about specific species, techniques, lures, and equipment. These lessons are from the bank at a local body of water. We provide the necessary equipment and tackle, but students can bring their own equipment or tackle that they want to learn to use or get additional practice with.
