Family Fishing<br />
No Child Left Inside!<br />
The Connecticut Aquatic Resources Education (Care) Program will<br />
introduce you and your family to the sport of fishing. Even ice fishing! State Certified<br />
Instructors will teach you everything you need to know about getting started. Most<br />
classes include an Instructor led fishing trip! All tackle and equipment are provided<br />
free of charge. We are always looking for enthusiastic and caring individuals who<br />
would like to share their passion for fishing with others. If this appeals to you and<br />
you think you have what it takes, consider becoming a certified CARE Instructor!<br />
Ice Fishing Classes: January classes designed<br />
to introduce you to the social, wintertime<br />
sport of ice fishing. This is an excellent<br />
program for families, scouts and youth organizations.<br />
Learn how to catch a big bass,<br />
pickerel or jumbo perch on a tip-up or jig pole<br />
before attending the Family Ice Fishing Derby<br />
or Ice Fishing Winter Festival (see below).<br />
Family Ice Fishing Derby: January 25, 2014 —<br />
Breath in some of that fresh winter air to evade<br />
“cabin fever” by adding some outdoor adventure<br />
this winter with family and friends. Kids get a<br />
prize just for attending. The CARE Program will<br />
provide hands-on instruction, bait, and equipment<br />
to borrow. Check the CARE webpage for<br />
details as the date approaches.<br />
Family Ice Fishing at No Child Left Inside ®<br />
Winter Festival: February 1, 2014 — If you<br />

fishing, this festival will introduce you to a<br />
wide variety of outdoor winter activities.<br />
Family Fishing Courses: Let Certified CARE<br />

to get started fishing with family and friends.<br />
First, meet for just two hours in the classroom<br />

Second, take those skills you’ve learned to<br />

you and your family to success on a fishing<br />
trip to a local pond or lake!<br />
