This invitation is a request from Matt Diebel via Dan Oele for help with a fishing clinic in memory and honor of Luke, his son. Matt has been a hydrologist with the DNR and Dane County with specialties in fisheries and water quality. He now works for the US Geological Survey. Luke’s death reverberated through the professional conservation community in Madison. The aim of the foundation is to introduce kids to fishing, the activity Luke and his family loved.

We wanted to let you know about an upcoming event called ‘Luke’s Learn to Fish Clinic’. This event is hosted by Cora’s Girl Scout Troop, Wingra Boats, and the City of Madison. It is October 12 from noon – 2pm. There are activities for the novice fisher (make a stick fishing rod and casting skills) to more advanced (flyfishing). Location is Wingra Park. Please come and have fun and share the announcement with your kids classes and anyone else.

We also need volunteers to help manage the different stations and help teach – you don’t need to be an expert. We could really use some extra help. Sign up genius here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D48AAAF2DA4F85-58225591-volunteer
