These clinics are run by Grand Island resident and owner of River Master Charters, Captain Ted Kessler. Registration is open now! Pre-Registration is required.

Our 1 day fishing clinic is for participants of all ages (please note, anyone 12 years old or younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian age 18 or older). It will feature equipment selection, fishing techniques and other tips and tricks and time to pick the brain of Captain Ted. This is a great opportunity whether you're just learning to fish or have been fishing for a while and are looking to fine tune your skills.

The second day will be fishing from shore at a location that Captain Ted selects on Grand Island. The location will be given at the first class. This class is run by Captain Ted and supported with Recreation Department staff.
