Learn how to paddle and cast May 23 at Fool Hollow Lake in Show Low with a 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. kayak fishing clinic. The clinic is free. Reserve a spot with a refundable registration deposit of $20.

Class size is limited, so register by calling the AZGFD Pinetop office at (928) 532-3680.

Why learn to kayak fish? Kayak anglers are a growing community of outdoors enthusiasts who enjoy the exercise, quiet, and ability to stealthily paddle into fishing areas that boats cannot reach. Catch fish, stay in shape and enjoy nature in its purest form.

The clinic will consist of kayak instruction so anglers can learn what to bring and how to pack. It's a hands-on clinic, so participants will spend time on the lake with experienced instructors.

At the end of the clinic, it will be time to go catch fish. Kayaks, life jackets and fishing equipment will be provided (although registrants can bring their own.)

Participants must be at least 10 years of age.
