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

Eighteen year olds must still be in high school to participate.

There are just 20 slots available for this fun activity so register early.

The clinic will be held on Saturday, May 17, at Library Park on Park Street in Lakeport from 9 a.m. to noon with a hot dog feed at the end of the session.

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. 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 in order to fish from the pier.

Beginning April 15, you may register your child by contacting and speaking directly to Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League Board Member Terry Norton at 707-349-4432. Signing up online is not possible.

The registration deadline is May 10th. Board member Mary Borjon, 707-279-1050, will handle registration from May 8 through May 10.

Registering your child reserves a space specifically for your child. Please ensure that your child attends.

After signing up, you will receive a follow up letter with important information and participation requirements.
