History

Overview / Summary

Youngsters not only learn how to properly catch fish, but also learn how to manage their own Junior Clubs through parliamentary procedures ... through educational workshops ... through “how to” clinics and more importantly engage in hands-on activities with their Club Youth Director, other mentors and educators.  

Competition is just one of the many goals for our “Junior Athletes”.  Conservation, habitat restoration, adopting waterways, community service projects, preserving the wholesome recreational sport of fishing and most importantly, having fun!

Leadership is one of the attributes we instill in our youngsters as they control their club and all of the associated activities while the adults are overseeing and guiding their moves. This junior club operates similar to our adult Good Ole Boys Club utilizing the identical format and procedures.  The youngsters are encouraged to bring new ideas to each meeting, discuss them and vote on them to decide if they should be adopted.
