Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the clinic starts at 10, rain or shine. Free rod-and-reel combos provided by the Nebraska Walleye Association and donations from other sponsors will be handed out to the first 75 registrants.

In the morning, participants will learn about knot-tying, casting, lures and baits, fish identification, and water and boating safety. Following lunch, the kids will fish one of the hatchery ponds stocked with rainbow trout.
