AFC conducted its first Train the Trainers event on Saturday, March 2nd at Mosquito Creek Outdoors in Apopka Florida. Students learned how AFC conducts successful Hook Kids on Fishing programs. Eleven experienced Hook Kids on Fishing instructors shared techniques they use to teach kids about safety, knot tying, casting, tackle, conservation and more. After three hours of instruction the event concluded with a wonderful lunch provided by Fish on Fire Restaurant.

Theresa Farro Ellershaw summed up the day, “Had a wonderful training day for us anglers. Thank you and learned a lot of new tricks to teaching children to fish.”
