Partnership focuses on next generation of anglers
Monday, April 5, 2021 by Tai Moses
A new partnership is out to “provide convenient fishing education opportunities for families” in Texas. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, Fishing’s Future and the George H.W. Bush Vamos a Pescar Education Fund are collaborating to increase “fishing knowledge, skills, and abilities of participating families from Texas metro areas” and “strengthen family bonds and their connections to the outdoors and fisheries resources.” Shane Wilson, CEO and founder of Fishing’s Future, said in the press release that “millions want to fish, but don’t know how.” This program, which runs until the end of May, aims to fix that by holding family fishing events as well as live virtual workshops.
