2008-03-31 Montcrest Fishing Club in Toronto, ON.

Seventeen enthusiastic boys and girls from Grades 4 to 6 came out for the inaugural meeting of the Montcrest Fishing Club on Monday, March 31.

Under the direction of Mr. Kerwin and with the assistance of Mr. Smith, the would-be anglers learned to assemble two-piece fishing rods and tie on a casting plug before trying their hand at "flipping," an underhand casting technique.

Over the coming weeks, children will learn basic casting techniques; types of fishing rods, reels, baits, and lines; where to find fish; and how to be a safe, responsible angler.

Fishing equipment for our club was generously donated by members of the Mississauga Bassmasters and J.B.’s Fishing Depot.
