FISHING CLUB Do you love everything about fishing? Are you looking for a way to learn more about fish and their watery world? You’re in luck! We’re the Fishing Club where you’ll get to explore all about fish and meet others with a similar passion! We’ll learn about different types of fishing, water safety, cleaning and eating fish and more! Each session is a different topic but will always include fishing. Bring your own fishing rod and equipment or borrow one of ours. We’ll have plenty of extra rods, lures and bait for everyone.
