Two Free Resources for Teachers
CT Aquatic Resources Education
CARE will introduce you, your family, and friends to the wonders of water, fish, and fishing. State certified Instructors pass along information and expertise they’ve gained while angling in local waters for many years. Demonstrations and activities make learning fun for adults and kids alike. Most classes include a fishing trip to a local angling hotspot! Find a class scheduled in your area by viewing a list of upcoming CARE classes. More in-depth program information can be seen by looking at our latest Annual Performance Report or watch our Learn To Fish video (5-1/2 minutes) which introduces viewers to the CARE Family Fishing Course. You can also view our “Let’s Go Fishing!” workbook, free when you take one of our CARE classes.
