University of Walleye

Friday night, the Nebraska Walleye Association put on a fishing clinic for kids. CP's den leader signed up the whole den, and when one of the kids could not make it, she invited GP. The event was held at the state fairgrounds at the same time as the boys state basketball championships. No wonder everyone from the sticks thinks Lincoln's traffic is horrendous. The only time they visit the city is during times like this.

The boys had a blast learning about fishing. There were 100 kids that were divided into smaller groups. Each group made the rounds of the event and learned about knots, bait rigging, life vests, casting, and tackle. The dads all got to look at the latest boats from Lund. I am confident that we will never purchase a $60,000 fishing boat.

At the end of the clinic, each kid got a Zebco rod & reel outfit with a tackle box and tackle. The boys are ready to go fishing. All we need is for the wind to warm up.
