Every teacher wishing to teach the curriculum of the "Fishing in Schools" program must be certified by an NFSP Certified Teacher Trainer. A teacher may take the training at any scheduled workshop in advance of his/her school/institution committing to the program.

These one day sessions are scheduled from time-to-time and are held in a variety of locations. The cost is $50 per person (credited against the cost of the program once acquired.) To sign up for a session, please fill out and submit the registration form below.

"I have been fly fishing for over 50 years. I have in my video library just about all of the available instructional videos. Your in person demonstration puts all of the videos that I have to shame. I had a great time and really enjoyed all of the presentations. Keep smiling. Thanks again."

"I just wanted to thank you for presenting your program yesterday. I thought it was excellent and I had a great time. I am very eager to teach this program to my students and hopefully help them to discover/re-discover the joys of the outdoors. Please let me know if I can do anything to help your program grow and succeed."
