Fishing is for everyone. In Los Angeles we have the opportunity to fish in our backyard at the Los Angeles River. Our current workshops focus on creating community and broadening access to fishing. Our workshops promote conservation, catch and release and provide the basics with participants getting a free rod, reel and tackle. At the end of the workshop, you, your family and friends will have the knowledge and skills to fishing anytime during open season.
