Most kids first experience with fishing is trying to catch a panfish. The memory of that first catch with dad, grandpa, mom or grandma will remain forever if the adventure is made to be fun. The act of fishing for panfish may be the most simple form of fishing possible for they are plentiful and willing to bite.

A day on the water from a boat or on dock or from the shore can form a positive experience of the outdoors and appreciation of nature that will remain for years to come.

The Panfish Partyintroduces panfish to the youth as having as much fun as being at a party.
