Ansonia to sponsor 2-day fishing program

Equipment will be provided

ANSONIA - Mayor David S. Cassetti is pleased to announce the opportunity for residents and others to join Ansonia’s two-day fishing program May 22 and May 24. 
The program will provide residents and others an opportunity to learn or brush up on their fishing techniques.  

“ I encourage all residents and others who would like to learn or just take a refresher course on the basics of fishing to enjoy the great outdoors and to take advantage of this unique opportunity,”  Cassetti said.

Ansonia's Recreation Department is sponsoring the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Connecticut Aquatic Resources Education Program. 

This is a chance for families to come together, learn, and enjoy a fishing experience. This gives people between the ages of seven years old and up an opportunity to learn about Connecticut Waters, fish identifications, how and where fish live, fishing techniques, laws and regulations, tying a strong knot, and how to cook your catch as well as many other interesting facts.

This two-day program will be held at the Ansonia Armory on State Street May 22 between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.
A fishing trip will be held May 24 at Abe Stone Park where the lessons learned May 22 will be put to use hands on in the class. The class will be held at Colony Pond between 8 a.m. and noon. All equipment will be provided.

To register and be part of this two-day fishing program or for more information call chief instructor Dave Connelly, 203-231-0946.
