Outdoor educators aren’t born; they’re made. Scaling up to teach the thousands of young people yearning to learn more about fishing and being good stewards of the environment requires the development of an army of knowledgeable volunteers.
Creating such an army of outdoor educators is the primary goal of Project F.I.S.H. (Friends Involved in Sportfishing Heritage). Think of Project F.I.S.H. as a bootcamp for outdoor educators – a place where front line educators of future fisheries stewards develop and hone their skills.

A quick count of out-of-state license plates in the parking lot of any Great Lakes public access site will confirm what most Michigan anglers already know: People travel to enjoy some of the best freshwater fisheries in the world.
Michigan anglers can be forgiven for sometimes taking this access for granted, but many would be surprised to learn that most young people who live within walking distance of the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, or Lake Erie have never been fishing.
