Join the Delaware Riverkeeper Network on July 17 for a beginner-friendly, dry-land fishing skills expo. Following this event, on July 31 we will be hosting our first shoreline fishing event at the Pottstown Riverfront Park.

These are both FREE, family-friendly events designed to connect Pottstown community members to the outdoors, to share multi-generational experiences, and build confidence in fishing for all ages. Fishing poles and all of your fishing needs will be provided. All you need to do is show up eager to learn! We will cover the basics of fishing: how to tie knots, cast, untangle lines, and reeling in the fish once hooked.

To accomplish this the Delaware Riverkeeper Network is teaming up with the Pottstown NAACP and The Ricketts Center to lead a dry-land fishing skills session for local community members. This is one of two sessions, with four shoreline fishing events to follow!

Registration is required and participants will be required to sign waivers before participating in any DRN Learn-to-Fish event activities.

Waiver for July 17 can be found here.

Waiver for July 31 can be found here.

This project received funds through the R3 Education Grant Program, administered by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
