Kids Carp Fishing Event in Ann Arbor

Here are my pictures from the Reel Fish Reel Fun event today at Gallup Park in Ann Arbor.

It was a nice event. We arrived early. We conquered rain. We conquered wind. We conquered some strong fighting Huron River carp and shared carp fishing with some interested, studious, excited kids who hopefully left the event with some new knowledge and appreciation for what is one of the most accessible, largest average size, and strongest fighting freshwater fish available to the average angler in the Ann Arbor area.

We met, networked, swapped fishing stories and tips with some other local carp anglers. If you haven't hosted or participated in this type of kids fishing event before, I'd urge you to try it. It's an easy way to get more involved in the community and pay it forward.
