CONCORD, N.H. -- Calling all anglers!  The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and UNH Cooperative Extension are teaming up to give you the opportunity to find out all you need to know about a recreational activity that everyone in the family can enjoy: Fishing!  This one-day introduction to fishing program will be held at the North Country Resource Center in Lancaster, N.H., on Monday, July 25th, from 4:00 p.m. until dark.  The class is free, and registration is first-come, first-served. Space is limited so call (603) 788-4961 to reserve your spot.
 
The class is open to anyone, however, those 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.  All fishing equipment and materials will be provided.  You do not need to have a fishing license to participate.
 
The afternoon will be spent at the North Country Resource Center, learning about equipment, safety, knot tying, fish identification, basic ecology and different casting techniques.  In the evening we will head out on boats to put your newly learned skills to the test on Martin Meadow Pond.
