Learn to Fish (Let's Go Fishing)
The “Let’s Go Fishing” (LGF) Program is an organized effort to train a network of volunteers to teach and encourage young people and their families how to fish. LGF believes that “Fishing is more than catching fish.” The Program emphasizes four themes:
The Program:
- Fishing skills
- Tackle Craft
- Ecology and Water Resource Management
- Ethics
The Program:
- educates young people about water ecology and fishing,
- helps young people become aware of and appreciate Vermont’s fish population, their habitat needs, and ways to be stewards of these resources,
- and teaches proper fishing skills and ethics to the young people and their families, as well as respect for each other and the resource, and instills a responsibility to know the rules and regulations of fishing.
