On that Saturday, my club, the Okauchee Fishing Club, (and eleven other clubs at other parks in the Milwaukee County area), will be holding a one day “Kids Learn to Fish” program. We will be stationed at the Brown Deer Park boat house from 9am to 3pm. Each child will attend a brief 20-minute class covering fishing safety, types of Wisconsin fish, baits, knots and more. Each attending child the class will earn a frameable WDNR certificate.

At the end of each class, we will have a drawing for a new rod and reel! In addition, because it’s our 40^th Anniversary of holding the clinic, we will be giving away several special prizes including medals for catching a fish, special “fish towels” where the kids can imprint their own fish, decaled 4-gallon white buckets to use as a seat when fishing, and much more. We will again be serving free hot-dogs, chips, and a juice drink.

In addition, if they are under the age of 15, they will get the chance to catch a fish (typically trout) in the stocked Brown Deer Park pond under the guidance of our club members. Rods, reels, and bait will be provided for the kids to use. It’s a great time for all. This is a rain or shine event, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
