Discover Fishing at the Pier Program

The Discover Fishing at the Pier program is a collaborative effort between Discover Center & Pier, Inland Seas Education Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs, and the Northwest Michigan Fishing Club. This hands-on youth fishing program is offered once per year and introduces youth to basic fishing skills including casting and knot tying, food web study, and pier-based fishing techniques. We ask that each youth participant have an adult accompany them whether they are a parent, adult sibling, or friend. By learning together, we hope that the youth that participate will continue fishing into the future.
