Hooked On Fishing Not On Drugs

HOFNOD is the flagship education program of the national Future Fisherman Foundation.

Programs are designed for youth ages 5 and older. Parents, older siblings and anyone who likes to fish are encouraged to participate. Although being an active outdoorsman is a plus, it is not a requirement for volunteers. Anyone can take a child fishing or serve as their mentor. A love for children is the main ingredient for success.

Through this program, HOFNOD participants will:

Learn all the skills necessary to fish safely on their own in a variety of settings.
Attain the ability to teach others.
Adopt fishing as a wholesome pastime and be encouraged to enjoy it regularly with their friends and family.
Take an active role in conservation in their community.
Develop ethical attitudes about the outdoors.
Be empowered by a new, fun activity to develop positive lifestyles, such as creative decision-making, problem-solving, patience, and camaraderie.
Develop better communication skills.
Gain new confidence and find a new sense of respect and responsibility for themselves, their friends and family, and community.
