Long Lake Fishing Club

Junior Angler Patches Awarded To Local Children
by Nancy Durn

The program, led by Nancy Durn, Master Angler Instructor, was filled with fun activities. The lessons learned included: fish anatomy and senses; fish identification; introduction to fishing equipment and casting techniques; tackle box contents and fish filleting/cleaning. On Thursday fishing was done from pontoon boats. Fishing equipment was provided by the Ice Age Center for those who didn’t have a rod and reel. Carey Schumaker, owner of Quik Bait, provided the wax worms and red worms needed for fishing.

The instructors were Jackie Scherfenberg, Naturalist from the Ice Age Center; Jim and Sharon Porfilio, Master Angler Instructors; Bob Leiholdt; Bob Durn, “Mr. Fisherman”; Michael Samens, Osceola Constable; Charles Benson, Master Angler Instructor; and Kyle Kosin, Conservation Warden. On Tuesday, instructors demonstrated and taught several different aspects of fishing.

Constable Samens told the children about his duties, fishing regulations and boating safety. He discussed fish size and daily limits and stressed the importance of wearing a life jacket, even if you know how to swim. After the talk they divided into groups which moved between four learning stations, some with hands-on involvement.

At one station they learned how to tie a secure line on a fish hook. After a demonstration by Mr. Leiholdt, the children were able to learn the skill, with repeated practice, on an oversized wooden hook and string.
Different types of fishing equipment were shown at another station and parts of a rod and reel explained by Mr. Porfilio. A few forms of casting were demonstrated and with the added assistance of Mrs. Porfilio the children had a chance to practice the techniques.

At the next station Bob Durn, “Mr. Fisherman”, showed the children how to fillet fish while explaining the inner parts and fish eating habits. The children also had an opportunity to learn what essentials are needed in a tackle box and see a fishing boat set-up.

At the fourth learning station Mrs. Scharfenberg familiarized the children with fish senses. Using equipment that utilized their own senses, they learned that if it smells, is bright in color, and makes noise the object will attract fish.
While enjoying an ice cream bar the children were given a chance to ask questions and instructions were given pertaining to fishing on Thursday.

Thursday was warm and sunny with a slight breeze out of the east. The children went out on the lake to fish while learning about structure, how to locate fish, bait selection, and fish handling. Warden Kosin stopped by each pontoon to make sure everybody was following regulations and to briefly review the lessons learned on Tuesday. He stressed the importance of wearing a life vest.

Several local area residents had volunteered their pontoon boats making this event possible. Others also assisted as co-captains, fishing instructors and helpers. They are as follows:

Bob Durn, Jackie Scharfenberg, Bob and Nancy Leidholdt, Jim and Sharon Porfilio, Charles Benson, Warden Kyle Kosin, Constable Michael Samens, Rich Clements, Frank & Eunice Tomka, Marge Mackinson, Judy Placzkowski, and Tammy Durn.
With the skills learned on the previous Tuesday the children were catching blue gills, sun fish, perch and rock bass. Residents on the north end of the lake and other boaters could hear the excitement on the boats when a bobber went down and fish were caught. Baiting the hook and removing the fish caught seemed to provide the most challenge. It didn’t take long although for the inexperienced fisher to learn how to set the hook and reel one in.

After a morning of fishing all came on shore to sit by the fire and discuss their adventures. While eating a picnic lunch provided by the Long Lake Fishing Club, Charles Benson gave an informative talk about fish identification. Using mounts of fish caught in Long Lake the children saw the larger sizes of fish they could possibly catch They also learned about size regulations and heard some of his personal experiences with fish.

The day ended with Angler patches presented to new program participants along with a “goodie bag” for all children in attendance. Included in the bag was fishing information pamphlets from the WI-DNR, Wild Life cards, and a few basic fishing materials supplied by the Long Lake Fishing Club. This year Cabelas donated a “Slingshot Fishing Combo” rod and reel for each participant.

The children had a great time out on the water catching fish. Just take a look at the smiling faces and you know that the program was a success. Group pictures were taken and good byes said.

Conserevation Warden, Kyle Kosin, checked the boats to make sure the kids were wearing llife jackets and using the skills learned on Tuesday.

The children were surprised by the nice "goodie bags" they received from the Long Lake Fishing Club and the DNR and were really excited by the "Slingshot Rod and Reel Combo" donated by CABELAS to each child.

Charles Benson talks with the children about the different fish species and shows them mounts of what different large fish had been caught in Long Lake in the past.  He also reminded them about fishing regulations and safety.
