Angler Education Today: Reconnecting Families & Setting a Foundation for the Future Since 2007 Fishing’s Future has reached out to families throughout the U.S. -- educating them on fishing and reconnecting them with each other and the great outdoors.  The success they have achieved can be attributed to personal connections within the communities they serve, a curriculum which can be easily adapted for any region, and an infectious enthusiasm for both angling and stewardship.  This presentation will focus on these factors, as well as communication techniques that have proven effective.
