Public invited to Family Fishing Clinic in Chesterfield County on Oct. 12
A Family Fishing Clinic is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 12 at the Cheraw Fish Hatchery. The clinic is free, but pre-registration is required. Class is limited to 25 participants.
The clinic is sponsored by the S.C. Department of Natural Resources Aquatic Education Section and is designed to introduce the basics of fishing to the young and old or those who need a refresher to the basics of fishing to increase their future participation in the sport. Family Fishing Clinics will teach skills on how to tie fishing knots, how to rig a rod and reel, casting and the best part is everyone will get to try their hand at fishing. Participants will learn how and where to fish and have someone to fish with to become confident anglers.
All ages are welcome, so come out and play, enjoy the outdoors and make this a family fun day!
Register for the clinic online, via email at aquaticed@dnr.sc.gov or by calling (803) 737-8483.
