The Armed Forces Initiative is the BHA program focused on creating conservationists within the military community. Come join Alabama AFI and learn how to fish!
A Lunch and Learn is a workshop style event where attendees will be taught the ins and outs of outdoor skills such as fishing. AFI mentors will host attendees on the water and teach them how to fish with conventional tackle and fly rods. Experienced anglers are also welcome to join and fish while the mentors teach. Additionally, participants will learn about the North American model of conservation, the importance of clean water, and how they can use their voices as members of the military community to support BHA's conservation mission. Join us for a fun and educational day spent learning the basics of fishing!
Topics covered include:
· Rods, reels, lines, and lures
· Basic casting instruction
· Bait selection
· How to set up your rod
