Gear

Very cool to see folks offering up stuff. I teach fifth grade at a low income elementary school in Federal Heights. I am trying to start a fishing club. I have been looking for any types of donations to get things rolling before spring. We are right up the street from Sportsmans, I wonder if they would offer any type of support? Regardless, it's very cool to see people offering up gear.

That's a great idea. I will contact them.


There is a pond near our school. Across the street from water world. That woulf be a good place to go practice casting.

Awesome, I think I will start with some basics in the classroom. Stuff like knots and basic concepts and work our way up to hitting the local pond and actually casting. My goal would be a Saturday at Somewhere local.

I talked to my students and they are super excited to go fishing. Most have never been fishing. I will post some dates as soon as get logistics down.
Thanks again for all the support. This going to be awesome for the kids.

If monument was a little closer id run down and grab the stuff. With a couple more reels i will have a set up for six kids. I could use two spincast type reels for a couple empty rods to make it eight. I ran the idea by my class and they loved the idea. I was surprised how many girls want to sign up. Sorry slayer i cant send you any pics.

Thanks to all who donated

I really appreciate the gear. I spent the day organizing stuff and putting new line on the reels. I will make sure to post some pics soon.
