We are excited to kick off year 2 of the Iowa 4-H Statewide Fishing Club. This program is designed to engage students in grades 4-12 with Iowa’s aquatic ecosystems, fishing techniques, and environmental stewardship.
This unique program helps youth step away from screens and into the great outdoors, where they can develop lifelong skills in fishing, fish identification, lure tying, water safety, and more. Through webinars, tournaments, and skills days, members will build confidence and appreciation for nature while connecting with other young anglers across the state.
Scholarships are available to ensure all youth have the opportunity to participate.
Thank you for supporting Iowa’s youth in exploring new hobbies and outdoor recreation.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thank You,
Katie Peterson, Youth Program Specialist
