Description
Try your hand at freshwater fishing with Howard County Recreation & Parks instructors in this basic discovery style class. All fishing equipment and bait provided for use during the program. No experience necessary. Fee is per individual; when enrolling a child you must ALSO enroll a separate parent/adult guardian registration. This class is not just for kids!Visit www.tinyurl.com/HCRPAdventure for more Adventure & Outdoor opportunities. Scroll down for more important program notes.
Maryland law requires anyone age 16 or older to have a Maryland Fishing License. This license must be on the individual anytime the individual is fishing. We encourage adults to purchase a license before attending (freshwater, non-tidal fishing license is currently $20.50/year for MD residents). Licenses are available at many regional sporting goods retailers, or online from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources at: https://compass.dnr.maryland.gov/dnrcompassportal.
Detailed info emailed to the participant – Check your registration to be sure you get it! No experience necessary and all equipment and bait provided for use during the program. Anglers may bring their own equipment suitable for freshwater fishing – no fly rods.
Fees are per person. Under 18 must be accompanied by a participating parent or adult guardian THAT HAS ALSO REGISTERED AND PAID - this is NOT a drop off program.
