Education-- The S.O.N.S. of Lake Erie Fishing Club
is dedicated to educating our youth in the joys and skill of
fishing. We do this by participating in annual events such as the
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's "Fish for Free Days",
Discover Presque Isle, Allegheny Earth Force, and various other events. We
also partner with Presque Isle State Park and Millcreek Township Summer
recreation program. During the Winter we present an Ice Fishing clinic
where techniques and safety issues are presented to those who attend.
The S.O.N.S. have sponsored over 800 City of Erie school students into the
P.F.B.C. P.L.A.Y. (Pennsylvania League of Angling Youth) program. Most
recently we have sponsored 3 issues of the Erie Times News full page
articles in their News in Education series on the subject of historical
and current fishing information as well as environmental issues.
The S.O.N.S. contributed computer equipment, expertise and exhibits to the
Erie County History Center's
"Freshwater Fishing Capital of the World" exhibit.
The S.O.N.S. contributed to the purchase of
canoes for the Presque Isle State Park outdoor adventure program where
"at risk" students from "Perseus House and the Bayfront
Center for Maritime Studies are afforded the opportunity to experience the
beautiful inner waters of the park. We also sponsored day fishing trips on
Lake Erie for these same students.
