Get outdoors to the water’s edge and gain new skills. Put together a spinning combo, learn how to use different fishing lures, and try to catch fish in this free workshop run by the Indiana DNR and Hamilton County Parks & Recreation.

So glad to see this joint ventures between Hamilton County Parks and Recreation and the Indiana DNR. As someone who learned to fish after retirement I know enjoy the time I can be out fishing in the river or one of our county’s parks. I have attended several of the DNR fishing classes and always come away having learned something new.
It is great to see the sponsorship from a longtime Hamilton County business. Schwartz’s Bait & Tackle had been a fixture in Noblesville, on the West Bank of the White River for 43 years!
