Groups fished on Wednesday and Friday mornings and Mayor Nola Theiss welcomed the students on Wednesday, fol- lowed by members of the Wildlife Committee speak- ing about their love of fishing and the need to fish responsibly.

Then the groups rotated so that all students had a hand at all three. Net casting was the most enthusiastically received, understandably since results were immediate. Ralph Woodring and Robin Ramming of the Bait Box set up a "target box" on the beach and worked with the kids Clockwise from on the intricacies of a clean throw.
