Hey BADFISH, that's awesome!! I'm glad to see that the program is working. Kudos to you for volunteering your time. I wish I had more of it. I think when I'm done with school I want to do the same.

LMAO! Well, TJK15 would be able to tell ya. The only place I've fished the Jordan is where it exits Utah Lake. In fact, THAT'S where the pumphouse is too. You won't find it at 5400 S, 106000 S, or anywhere else in Salt Lake, lol. The pumphouse is in Lehi(about 1/2 mile north of Saratoga Springs. To get to the pumphouse you'll wanna take I-15 South to the Main Street Lehi exit and head west. Aquaman can give you exact directions, I come from the South so I take the backroads and I just get there, not exactly sure what roads I take. Anyway that's probably too far for you to go for the fishing class anyway.

I take my kids fishing quite a bit, but would love to get them involved with other kids. Can anyone come to your class? Can I get more details please?
Thanks

ITS PUT ON BY MURRAY PARKS & RECREATION. I THINK REGISRTATION IS 5 BUCKS A KID, IT IS TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS AT 6PM TO 8 PM OR SO....PENDING ON WEATHER I GUESS. I AM JUST A VOLUNTEER TEACHER, WE TEACH THE KIDS BASIC FISHING KNOWLEDGE, AND THE LAST WEEK OF IT IS A HUGE FISH FRY WITH THE KIDS CATCHING AND CLEANING ALL THE FISH THEM SELVES. I HAD A KID CATCH ONE LAST NIGHT AND TAKE IT HOME...I THINK I "MENTIONED" IT ABOVE. LOL, IT WAS A BLAST FOR ME, I AM SURE AS THE KIDS GET USED TO US AND WARM UP A BIT THEY WILL REALLY HAVE SOME FUN!! AND THAT MEANS MORE FUN FOR ME TOO!! YEE HAA.
CALL WAYNE OBERG @ 2[size 2]64-2614 I THINK HE IS THE MAN IN CHARGE OF IT ALL. OR DREW CUSHING. THEY ARE ALL DWR GUYS.....CUSHINGS NUMBER IS.....538-4774[/size]

Badfish,
Glad to see another volunteer sharing their fishing talent with kids. This will be my third year as a volunteer for the DWR's Kid's fishing club down here in Orem. We were supposed to have our first meeting tonight (4/7) at Vivian Park but ended up cancelling it due to bad weather up at Provo Canyon. It will always be fun for me to see a child catch his/her first fish.
Kudos,
kastmaster

I have always tried to take my three little kids fishing. My middle daughter (4) caught her first cast / real / catch up in the Uintas. It was a small trout but it was so great to see.. She is the Blonde in the picture...
