These campers will never forget the time they caught a "summer" school of fish! They were exposed to all the equipment, terms, and techniques that make a successful trip....BUT, the best exposure was the solidifying of these summer friendships spent in the outdoors - making memories!
Folks that is a Coleman cooler absolutely filled to capacity! Chinook Salmon, Coho salmon, and Rainbow trout!
For the Wolf Pack, educational and fun trips like these are a double bonus. Not only do they relish the opportunity to show-case their equipment by field use to future generations, but they get to pass on their knowledge -- planting a seed. Hoping that at least one camper will some day either choose his career based on this trip or start his / her own family tradition of fishing trips.
For more information about Camp Anokijig, visit their web page! This is one of the best camps around due to it's location! With it's own on-site access to woods, a lakes, and fields, they have plenty of room for quality recreational activities with no traveling required! Of course they do offer off-site activities (some travel required) that take advantage of the fact that they have access to Lake Michigan, the Sheboygan Marsh, and the Kettle Moraine state Forest!
After a quick briefing, we took them to see how the trout are raised on a trout farm, then we broke into our fishing groups and had a blast fishing the catch & release ponds.
This Camp Y-Koda youth caught a Large Mouth Bass. Each camper had a fishing pole with hook and bobber. The kids split worms, baited barbless hooks, and casted into the lake. We assisted them with casting techniques and finding the right depth to find the fish.
This fella tried a different bait and found that a Perch liked what he had to offer.
Trust me when I say that this little guy was excited when he caught his first Crappie, look at his smile....I can still here him saying "I caught a fish! I caught a fish! I caught a .... what kind is it?....Oh. I caught a Crappie! I caught a Crappie!"
Sweeeeet! These two campers stuck together and tried the Bass side of the pond with great results!
This camper had a plastic worm and was quite successful with it! Combine summer educational camps, experienced guides, Crystal Blue Springs, and nature -- you get a great learning experience!
John guides this group of "geese" up to the hatchery shed for their tour.
