NPAA member Greg Karch #138 hosted Future Angler seminar for a 4H Group in Appleton, Wisconsin.  Greg’s seminar ‘Fishing Basic’s  covered: safety, details on open- and closed-face fishing combos, casting, fishing identification, knots, bait, parts of a fish and essential items to have in a tackle box.   The seminar ended with the AIS message of ‘Clean, Drain and Dry’.   Today we introduced many future fisherman into the sport as many of the youth had never fished before.

Each youth went home with fishing equipment which was donated by NPAA, Future Angler Foundation,  Dave’s Musky Club, Shakespeare, Berkley, Plano, Mercury, Lake-Link, Triton Boats, The Boat Doc, Off Shore Tackle Company, Northland Tackle, TTI Blakemore Fishing Group, Navionics, Maui Jim and The Reel Shot.

Many events bringing new people into the sport of fishing-both youth and adults-are supported through the 501c3 non-profit organization Future Angler Foundation. Through charitable contributions, the FAF purchases needed items for programs like this and helps skilled anglers teach others about one of the best sports a person can ever learn: fishing. It is a sport that can last a lifetime.
