Fishing 101 with Jeremy Beavin

About This Event

Have you ever wanted to learn how to fish but weren't sure where to start? Join us for Fishing 101, a fun, hands-on program designed for beginners of all ages! While we won't be fishing on the water, participants will practice the basic skills every angler needs and learn what it takes to have a successful day at the lake, river, or pond.

Whether you've never baited a hook or "wet a line," this program will introduce you to fishing essentials, including the parts of a rod and reel, basic casting techniques, simple knots, and responsible fishing practices. It's a great opportunity for individuals, families, and aspiring anglers to build confidence and get ready for their first fishing adventure.


When: Saturday, August 8th                                                  Time: 10:00-11:30am                                                     
Where: Park at the Buttonbush Woods Trailhead Parking Lot and Meet at the Outdoor Classroom Behind the Parking Lot
Address: 398 Emery Crossing, Clarksville, Indiana 47129
Audience: All are welcome!

Jeremy Beavin's Bio:

Born and raised in Southern Indiana, Jeremy Beavin spent much of his youth exploring the creeks of Jefferson County Indiana, never knowing it would one day lead to a career. Starting out at Falls of the Ohio State Park in 1999 as an Aquarium Specialist, Jeremy maintained the large public aquariums on display. In doing so, he gave programs about the aquariums and inhabitants, slowly transitioning to the role of Interpretive Naturalist. In 2010, he began working with the staff at Charlestown State Park as they prepared to open Rose Island. In 2012, Jeremy began the Full Moon Hike Series at Charlestown, a program now offered at many Indiana State Parks. Jeremy became the First Full Time Interpretive Naturalist at Charlestown State Park in 2016 and continues to offer many popular programs and hikes for visitors from all over the globe. Today Jeremy calls Madison, IN home where he is working to create his own private park for his friends and family to enjoy!
