Fishing Workshop For Youngsters In Ansonia

Mayor David S. Cassetti is pleased to announce the opportunity for residents and others to join Ansonia’s two day fishing program, which will provide residents and others to learn or brush up on their fishing techniques. 

“I encourage all residents and others who would like to learn or just to take a refresher course on the basics of fishing to enjoy the great outdoors and to take advantage of this unique opportunity,” Cassetti said.

Ansonia’s Recreation Department is sponsoring the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Connecticut Aquatic Resources Education Program. 

It is a chance for families to come together, learn, and enjoy a fishing experience. 

It gives people between the ages of 7 years old and up an opportunity to learn about Connecticut waters, fish identifications, how and where fish live, fishing techniques, laws and regulations, tying a strong knot, and how to cook your catch as well as many other interesting facts.

This two-day program will be held at the Ansonia Armory on North State Strert on May 22, 2014 between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Then there will be a fishing trip which will be held on May 24 at Abe Stone Park where the lessons learned on May 22 will be held hands on in the class and that will be held at Colony Pond between 8 a.m. and noon. 

ALL EQUIPMENT WILL BE PROVIDED.

To register and be part of this great fishing program or for more information; call the Chief Instructor Dave Connelly at (203)-231‑0946.
