FISHING 101
Saturday, October 24 2pm to 3:30pm
For families. We’ll begin with an introduction to freshwater fishing and learn to target specific fish species, fishing equipment, knots, bait selection and technique. Participants will make their own “Altoids Tin Fishing Tackle Kit” to use on site and then take home. Basic equipment is provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. Meet at the waterfront area in the Essex County South Mountain Recreation Complex, West Orange, near the Clipper Pavilion and boat rental.  Led by David Alexander  Fee: $20 per person
