My son used this curriculum for a school project and enjoyed learning how to build a kick net and make artificial flies. The hands-on activities helped him understand fishing ethics and leadership. He even interviewed a local fisherman and presented his findings to the class. Very practical and engaging.

Great resource for teens interested in fishing. The skillathon activity encouraged teamwork and creativity. The ethical decision-making section was well thought out and relevant to real-world situations.

The curriculum covers a lot of ground. My daughter found the fly-making and lure design parts most interesting. The interview component was a bit time-consuming, but overall it was a solid learning experience.
