Conservationists of Frontenac Addingtion | Aug 25, 2016
The Conservationists of Frontenac and Addington have an annual program to introduce local children to angling in our beautiful surroundings. Participants who have not had a chance to experience fishing are selected. Each is given a rod reel and some tackle by COFA and taken to a local lake to learn with experienced anglers. This year a COFA member and staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry provided boats and instruction.
The kids’ return to shore was one of excitement as they had caught several fish, learned a lot and enjoyed the company of their adult companions while they fished. One fish had to be kept to show the parents how big it was. The smaller fish were filleted, fried and served in a delicious shore lunch. There was enough to serve lunch to everyone in attendance, it was wonderful. Thanks to all who helped, to Ed Yanch who transported the fishers, and most of all to Brody, Zech, Jaydin and Scott, who caught the lunch.
