“PASSPORT TO FISHING” WORKSHOP
FINDLAY, OH -- Two “Passport to Fishing” instructor workshops will be offered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. The workshops will be held on January 3, 2008 and February 7, 2008 at the Wildlife District Two Headquarters located at 952 Lima Avenue, Findlay, Ohio 45840. Each training session will begin at 8:30 a.m. and conclude at 3:00 p.m.
“Passport to Fishing” is sponsored in part by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. It is a quick and easy program intended to be used with half-day and whole-day fishing events. Fishing fundamentals are taught including casting, knots and rigging, habitat and handling. It is tailored so that instructors, even without much knowledge of aquatic education, can teach young people how to fish. Passport is geared towards youth ages 4 – 17, and is promoted as an easy way to learn the basics of angling, get kids outdoors and on the road to a lifetime of recreational activity.
