Episode 216: He Built a Fishing School… and It SOLD OUT in 2 HOURS (216 Kids Learning to Fish)
Description
A fishing school that sells out in under 2 hours?
That’s exactly what’s happening.
John Anderson, Muskie’s Canada Hall of Famer, created the Ottawa Fish School to teach kids how to fish, tie knots, handle fish safely, and become stewards of the outdoors.
What started with 14 kids has exploded to 216… and every spot disappears almost instantly.
In this episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, we talk about:
• The fishing school selling out every year
• Teaching kids to be self-sufficient anglers
• Why fishing is still exploding with youth
• How parents are being dragged back into fishing
• The future of fishing in Canada
• Why this model is working
• The next generation of anglers
This might be one of the most important fishing conversations we’ve had.
Fishing isn’t dying. It’s evolving.
