Workshop: Minnows that Matter

The purpose of this workshop is to familiarize anglers, both amateur, pro, and everything in between with the intriguing natural world of non-game fish in streams!

Cameron Layne will teach us how to use various fish sampling apparatus to capture colorful inhabitants usually hiding below the water's surface and shadow of game fish. These sampling methods are completely legal with a fishing license, are compactable, a helpful field tool for anglers, and easy to learn how to use. Additionally, we will talk about the importance of these fish and their presence in streams as well as how they support the fishing industry.

The workshop will be held on the Olentangy River. We will meet at the Whetstone Shelter #1 at the Columbus Park of Roses. The workshop will begin at 12:00pm and conclude around 3:00pm.  We recommend having waders for this event as we will be sampling in the river. Cost is $10 to attend and the money goes to putting this event on.

This workshop is open to all and is capped at 20 participants. *Please note an Ohio fishing license is needed to participate at this workshop.
