GONE FISHIN'
with Dr. Pete
and Mr. Walker
An Exploration of Recreational and Commercial Fishing in Our Region
Students immerse themselves in the cultural, nutritional, economic and social aspects of angling(fishing) in our region. To gain a better understanding of the impact fishing has had on our culture, students will research the historical and present day connections it has to the community. Students will be working hands-on with various tackle and techniques as well as learning about how environmental forces effect fishing. Students strengthen their observational skills with drawings and written journal entries as well.
