This fishing clinic at Ives’ Park in Potsdam is open to all ages and abilities. Learn about local fish and how to cast - fishing poles included, free of charge! This is NYS Free Fishing Weekend, so no fishing license is required for NYS residents. Ten fishing poles will be provided, but participants are invited to bring their own gear as well. You may also want to bring sunscreen, water, and a camera (to post pictures of your catch on natureupnorth.org).

Be prepared to get a little wet! Shorts and close-toed sandals or old sneakers are ideal for wading in the water. RSVP appreciated but not required. Youth under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. We look forward to seeing you there!
