Project F.I.S.H. Training

MITU is pleased to announce training to anyone interested in going beyond the traditional fly tying and casting education we typically provide newcomers.  Project F.I.S.H., geared to give educators a structured curriculum to teach fishing basics using hands-on methods, will be offered Friday evening, March 24 and Saturday, March 25 at the Rose Lake Shooting Range in Bath Michigan.

Presented  by Mark Stephens; MSU Extension, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to provide engaging and informative lesson about all aspects of fishing. Along with introducing our volunteers to the Project F.I.S.H. program we anticipate this will be an excellent opportunity to develop networks between participants,increasing the partnerships for future education and outreach programs.   For information about this program visit http://www.projectfish.org/
