MDC offers free Discover Nature – Fishing classes in the Kansas City area
Newcomers can learn about tackle and skills, and also go fishing
Kansas City, Mo. – Fishing’s basics are relatively easy to learn and a great way to connect with nature. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering Discover Nature – Fishing classes this summer in the Kansas City area. Participants will acquire knowledge and skills they need to confidently go fishing.
The classes are offered in four sessions. MDC staff and volunteers will teach the basics about fishing tackle, techniques for presenting lures and baits, Missouri fishes and their ecology, and how to care for what you catch for cooking. At the end of most sessions, participants will go fishing at a pond or lake with help from the instructors. Current COVID-19 precautions will be followed by instructors and participants.
These classes are for people age 7 and above. Families are welcome. Children between 7 and 15 must be accompanied by an adult. A state fishing permit is not required for these classes. They are held at MDC classrooms and fishing lakes throughout the metro area, or at public parks with lakes. To check out upcoming sessions, go to MDC’s Discover Nature – Fishing page at Discover Nature - Fishing | MDC Hunting and Fishing.
The fishing classes and other MDC nature or outdoor skills programs can also be found at MDC’s events page, Events | Missouri Department of Conservation.
Find this and other MDC media releases in our MDC Online Newsroom.
