Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League and Clearlake Bassmasters collaborate to offer fishing clinic to local youth

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Clearlake Bassmasters and Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League will offer a free fishing clinic for students ages 6 to 18.

The clinic will be held on Aug. 26 at Library Park on Park Street in Lakeport from 9 a.m. to noon.

To qualify, 18 year olds must still be in high school.

The activity will take place in two parts.

At 9 a.m. the Bassmaster volunteers will provide instruction on a variety of fishing skills and techniques. Part two of the day involves supervised fishing from the pier.

The morning will end with a hot dog feed for student participants.

All equipment and supplies are provided including life vests for those fishing from the pier.

If your student is 16 to 18 years old, they must acquire a fishing license before the clinic and bring it with them to the clinic.

Beginning July 26, you may sign up your child by contacting and speaking directly to LCSAL Board Member Terry Norton at 707- 349-4432.

Signing up online is not possible. The registration deadline is Aug. 22.
