WINONA, Mo. – Fishing is a great way to connect families with the outdoors. It’s a great tool to introduce children to healthier lifestyles and it’s a good activity for strengthening family bonds. These are some of the many benefits of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Discover Nature – Fishing Program.
This program provides free lessons to help kids and families gain skills and confidence to enjoy fishing through a series of four instructional sessions:
Interested families will have a chance to take Lessons 1 and 2 of the Discover Nature – Fishing program at MDC’s Twin Pines Conservation Education Center near Winona on June 29. There will be an opportunity to take Lessons 3 and 4 on July 1, also at Twin Pines. The program on both dates will be from 4:30-6 p.m. At the conclusion of the July 1 session, participants will have a chance to do catch-and-release fishing at the Twin Pines pond. Fishing equipment, bait, and lures will be provided and a fishing permit will not be required.
People can register for both dates at:
