Conservationists of Frontenac and Addington in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, introduced children to fishing last week.
August 16th was an ideal day for being in beautiful places and learning to appreciate our natural surroundings.
Each August some children are selected who do not have the opportunity to get out fishing. We had three wonderful kids this year. Thanks to Ed Yanch for organizing and transporting them.
Each child was presented with a fishing rod, reel and some tackle by COFA. After learning the basics of using their new fishing equipment they were taken out on the lake by Steve Lawrence and Barry Wilson of the MNRF and Fred Perry of COFA. These are experienced anglers who enjoy this opportunity to pass on their love of fishing and skills to some new youngsters each year.
Fred, Barry and Steve did a great job of getting Zack, Austin and Josh over fish and helping them learn how to successfully catch and land them. Many fish were released and some were kept for lunch. The kids were very proud of their accomplishments
Thanks for the great meal boys, and thanks to the chef Wayne “Swampy” Marsh of COFA
