Texas Agrilife Extension Completes 4-H Sport Fishing

The Texas Agrilife Extension, Leon County 4-H Sport fishing Program
provides youth with all the skills needed to be expert anglers, and it
involves them in a deeper understanding of aquatic resources and their
management. With aquatic issues as a top priority, this program fills an
essential educational role. Adult volunteer and Texas Parks and Wildlife
Park Superintendant Wes Hamilton provided leadership to this exciting
and rapidly expanding program. This local training provides important
curriculum material in a “hands-on” setting, allowing all participants
to experience the program. The 4-H motto, “learning by doing” is
practiced. Training dates for the spring are being discussed. For more
information about the 4-H Sportfishing program, contact the Texas
Agrilife Extension Office in Leon County at 903.536.2531. Extension
programs serve of all ages regardless of socioeconomic level, race,
color, sex, religion, disability, or national origin. The Texas A&M
