You Fish Like A Girl (No Boys Allowed!)

August 1, 2009

Calling all girls! Moms, grandmas, sisters, aunts, or nieces! Wanna learn how to fish? Here's your chance with no boys around to bug you! Vikki Rawe from Out of Control Wildlife will present this instructional workshop (KCP&R's Steve Trauger will be there to help, but he won't bug you!) and once completed, you will be ready to go fishin' and feel confident that you can do it successfully!

You Fish Like A Girl will be held on Saturday, August 1 at Middleton-Mills Park. We will use the Shelterhouse Pond that you see as you enter the park, begin at 10:00 am, and the lesson will last an hour or two. Meet at Shelterhouse 1. It's a short lesson with plenty to learn but we'll also have plenty of fun!

This program is free, no pre-registration is required, and NO BOYS are allowed so you can have fun ~ THE main ingredient for a successful fishing outing!

You will be able to concentrate on learning the in's and out's of fishing. We'll have everything you need to fish, although you may wish to bring something to drink! We will explain tackle ~ rods and reels versus cane poles, what species of fish you are trying to catch, how to tie on a hook, what bait to use, how to bait the hook, casting, reeling, setting the hook, catching a fish, taking the fish off the hook, and what to do with it once you catch it!

Directions to Middleton-Mills Park are easy! From I-275, take Exit 79 (Covington-Taylor Mill) and go seven miles south on KY Hwy. 16 to Mills Road. Turn left on Mills and go about one mile to the park, then follow signs to Shelterhouse 2.
