Combining two incredible hobbies? Yep! It’s not only possible, but extremely enjoyable.
This free workshop is designed to give anglers the information and skills needed to safely and successfully fish from a kayak. As part of the team, you will gain hands-on experience with all aspects of your kayak fishing trip from set-up to recovery. With the support of NCWRC staff and volunteer instructors, you will practice paddling fundamentals and test your new skills as we try our luck fishing on the McKinney Lake. The 'Introduction to Kayak Fishing' class is a prerequisite to this experience.
