What Is Behind The “Alaska Trout Fishing” Web Site.

About This Site: A family orientated web site dedicated to the long term rewards of Teaching Kids to Fish. By joining this, not for profit, partnership between all those who embrace the desire to create, promote and/or assist in sponsoring activities for school aged children to make positive changes in their lives while understanding the benefits for the safeguarding of clean, healthy watersheds that maintain a sound ecological foundation for our lakes, rivers and streams. Through the employment of established, stimulating, educational opportunities and interactive fishing activities, Trout Fishing Alaska influentially exposes young children from under privileged families and communities to the fun and joys of trout fishing and the wonders of Alaska. Our goal is simple; we hope to assist parents to raise confident, environmentally conscientious citizens and to reward both the child and parent with lifetime memories that will bind them together through the remainder of time.

By partnering with the Alaska Trout Fishing with Kids website, you will be giving the youth of our communities an up-close and personal look into the joys of fishing as well as a sense of accomplishment in the preservation of our natural resources. We will continue to create additional opportunities for parents and their children to become involved in the sport of fishing and in the efforts of protecting our environment so they will have first hand knowledge of what their actions within the communities they live can have upon the lakes, rivers, streams and ocean which could be many miles away.

Why is this program deemed Important To Alaska?

• Turn on the television, listen to the radio, open the local newspaper. Do I need to say any more:
• Parents are finding the need of working longer hours and more days just to make ends meet.
• Drugs and alcohol abuse among our children and, sadly to say, their parents is rising exponentially.
• Today’s high fuel costs are limiting the ability of families to leave their homes for recreational purposes.
• As family values diminish, many of our youth resort to gang life as their only alternative for direction.
• Large corporations have yet to respond to the environmentally challenging task of reducing pollutants.
• Nationally, over 50% of our lakes and streams are no longer clean enough to swim in.
• Urban runoff has grown to lead as one of the greatest polluter of our nations watersheds.
• Drastic changes need to be made before the health of our nations waters will improve.
• The future of sportfishing and of this nation will soon lie in the hands of today’s youth.
• We as parents and adults have the inexorable duty of preparing these children to take on these tasks. We must be adamant in our refusal to deviate from the challenges of this task.

As the Alaska Trout Fishing with Kids website grows through additional funding, it will be able to reach more deserving children and their families throughout the state of Alaska. As we unite and grow, we will hope to expand these principals throughout the entire Pacific Coast states and into the Yukon and British Columbia as well. Eventually, we hope to unite as an family orientated, environmentally friendly organization that creates a cleaner, safer, happier world for everyone to enjoy.
