Fayetteville fishing class to cover catfish

There are several species of catfish that can be found in the waters around Fayetteville, and a workshop may help those who take part to land a big one.

The fish in focus at the class will be freshwater species in sizes ranging from small to huge. They are a popular sport fish, and good to eat as well.

The Catfishing Basics workshop will teach about the various species found in the state, including how and where to find them. The difference between fishing in rivers and lakes will be discussed, as will tips for choosing the appropriate bait and tackle. Both sustenance and trophy fishing techniques are on the agenda, and the session will wrap up with sharing recipes for preparing catfish in the home kitchen. The activity is for those age 12 and up, although anyone 15 or younger will need to have an adult with them.

Learning new techniques can make a hobby even more enjoyable, and a class provides an opportunity to do this while meeting others who also engage in a particular pastime. A flyer printing company can provide a variety of ways to help spread the word about an upcoming workshop.

The John E. Pechmann Fishing Center in Fayetteville will be sharing secrets for successfully catching catfish on Wednesday, June 5. It will run from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm.
