In partnership with other like-minded organizations, the Anglers for Conservation (Orlando Chapter) is coordinating the AFC’s Hook Kids on Fishing Program at this year’s Old Florida Outdoor Festival. The Apopka’s Hook Kids on Fishing program will take place at 12 Noon both Saturday and Sunday:

Old Florida Outdoor Festival
Apopka Amphitheater
3710 Jason Dwelley Parkway
Apopka, FL 32712

These conservation-minded Hook Kids on Fishing programs teach casting, fishing safety, knot tying, the tackle box, catch and release tactics, fishing habitat and conservation; and is taught by professional guides and knowledgeable anglers. Parents and kids bring your smiles, positive attitudes and patience along with you! Volunteers are needed. Parent or guardian must accompany attendees.

Additional community sponsors include the Fish Florida Foundation and Coastal Angler Magazine, and Aylesworth’s Fish & Bait, Daiichi Hooks and Mud Hole Custom Tackle.

The Hook Kids on Fishing program is a product of the Anglers for Conservation (AFC), a non-profit 501(C)(3) , whose mission is to create a new generation of marine stewards using community-based angling education, habitat restoration and applied conservation science.

Volunteers are needed and donations are greatly appreciated.
