EVERGREEN 4-H CLUB
Anglers Get Hooked
Our 4-H Sportsfishing Project is out of the box (tackle box that is)!!! We had our first and second meetings of the year on April 27th and May 11th at the Dineen's personal tank. A special thanks goes to them for allowing us to fish at their tank, and to the Johnson's for leading this project. Sierra Johnson demonstrated how to put fishing line on your reel, along with adding a weight and hook to the line. Dur-ing the day we learned how to bait a hook, use pliers or a line removal tool to gently remove the hook from the fish, the proper way to release the fish back into the water, casting tips and different bobber types/techniques.
