I like the twist this thread has taken.
Now, as you all know, every worthwhile trend begins in Nebraska and spreads from here to both borders and coasts. (Some, like our Unicameral legislature, just take a little longer to catch on.) Nebraska Game & Parks has a "Certified Youth Fishing Instructor" program where volunteers conduct free learn-to-fish clinics for kids statewide. NGPC also has started a volunteer Fishing Host program at selected state parks to introduce adults and families to the joys of fishing.
Your state may have something similar. Have you volunteered?
