School of Fish

Join pro angler and fishing TV show host, Mike Frisch, for a fun 2.5-hour fishing class designed for kids (and adults!). In this hands-on class, students will learn about lakes, how to find fish, and the best techniques to catch them. They'll also get to tie their own fishing knots and set up a slip-bobber rig.

• Ages 5-9 (with a parent)
• Ages 10+ (with or without a parent)

Each student receives:

• A School of Fish hat
• A rod & reel
• A tackle box with tackle
• A full-color School of Fish workbook
• A snack pack

Plus, one adult can attend with a child at 

Special Opportunity: One lucky graduate from all 2025 classes will be drawn to appear as a guest on Fishing the Midwest TV show! Most importantly, kids leave with the knowledge, skills, and equipment they need to start fishing right away!

Participation Guidelines Ages 5-9: Must participate with a parent. If the parent is assisting, they do not need to register separately. Ages 10+: Can attend with or without a parent - no additional cost if they share the equipment pack. If the adult would like their own supplies, they’ll need to register separately. Parents are welcome to help, especially since some knot-tying might be tricky for younger kids.
