GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–What better way to get outdoors for family fun than a S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) youth fishing rodeo or a family fishing clinic?

The youth fishing event in Berkeley County will take place behind Goose Creek City Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m on May 9th. For additional information, you can call (843) 825-3387.

For the rodeos, youth ages 6-15 must be accompanied by an adult and no adult fishing will be allowed. Pre-registration is preferred but registration is available on site for most events.

Register online or call (803) 737-8483. Sign in occurs 15-30 minutes prior to the session start time. Bring your own fishing equipment and tackle. Bait may be provided at some of the fishing rodeos.

Want to get your line in the water and reel in the big one, but you don’t feel confident with your angling skills? Family Fishing Clinics is an introductory class to fishing.

The clinics are sponsored by the DNR Aquatic Education Section and are designed to introduce the basics of fishing to the young and old or those who need a refresher to increase their future participation in the sport.

Family Fishing Clinics teach skills on how to tie a fishing knot, rig a rod and reel, and casting. The best part is everyone will get to try their hand at fishing. Family Fishing Clinics are free of charge. Register online or for more information regarding an upcoming Family Fishing Clinic event or to host an event, please contact [email protected] or (803) 737-8483.
