What FISH does

Encourage
On those days when the couch is calling, we’re the still small voice saying “catch me, catch me. You know you want to. Your tackle is waiting by the door.”

Advise
Which fish? Which bait? Which water body? Which water buddy? (Always take the quiet one.) How to catch them, cook them, eat them.

Teach
The science. Habitat and habits. Predators and predation. Reproduction and lifespan.

Then there’s this:

Your membership helps the Hatchery. Which stocks more fish, which sustains fish populations. More fishing, more fun, more outside. Better health, better attitude, a lifetime of memories.

Whether you’re six, sixty or a hundred and six we want you to get outside and fish. And we’ll do just about anything to help you do that.
