Join us in hosting the Family Fishing Tent during AZGFD Expo on Saturday, March 25 or Sunday, March 26! No fishing experience required for registration table work.
Fishing will take place in a large tank inside a tent. We are creating an opportunity for children and their parents to experience a successful fishing opportunity that they can build upon themselves. Be a part of one of the most popular opportunities at the Expo!
Work includes:
- registering participants
- waiting line control
- handing out equipment and bait
- demonstrating how to use equipment
- lots of helping untangle fishing lines
- proper handling and release of caught fish
See a video of the experience here. Details below.
