The Kootenay Trout Hatchery is once again offering its popular Learn to Fish (L2F) Program and is encouraging aspiring anglers of all ages to make 2009 the year that they finally discover the joys of fishing.
Tania, Cathy and Shealo, the Kootenay Trout Hatchery’s L2F coordinators are primed and ready to offer age-specific instruction to groups or individuals who want to learn to fish. The Hatchery supplies rods, bait, lures, nets and any other necessary equipment.
Learn all about fish identification, habitat and feeding practices. Discover how to set up tackle and accessories, tie knots, cast and retrieve. Find out where, when and how to catch fish and proper handling. Participants will also learn local regulations, water safety and spend time fishing in the Hatchery’s stocked trout pond. A tour of the Hatchery is included. Come prepared for the weather and bring a snack or drink as the lesson can take anywhere from 2 – 4 hours.
The Learn to Fish program is offered 7 days a week throughout the summer. Please book in advance by calling 250-429-3214 or emailing Kootenay@gofishbc.com.
