Kids Day
The mission of "Kid's Day" is to past on our love of fishing. Kids Day provides 100 students (Grades 4, 5, & 6) from the Tri-State area (IA, WI, & IL) an opportunity to learn how to fish. Each student is required to prepare an essay on "Why I want to go fishing" The winners are teamed with the club's pros to fish for four hours on the Mississippi River. Last year we had 225 applications with 34 schools (both public and parochial) participating. Each selected student is given a new rod & reel combination, tackle box & tackle, Kid's Day T-shirt, continental breakfast and lunch. Plaques are given to the top ten teams and big fish plaques are also awarded.
