3. Learn about fishing equipment, and make a simple fishing pole. Practice casting at a target.

Several simple fishing poles for kids, I'll probably do the PVC

Here is my step by step document on just about the simplest fishing pole that i think bear scouts can learn to make using the knots they basically already know, or a super simple to tie.

Here is a web page of the same instructions, in case you just want to browse it.

If you need it here is a closeup video of the finished pole



4. Go on a fishing adventure, and spend a minimum of one hour trying to catch a fish. Put into

Practice the things you have learned about fish and fishing equipment.
