Description

Discover the East River’s amazing biodiversity first hand through our free catch-and-release fishing clinics!

Learn the basics of catch-and-release line fishing from the Brooklyn Bridge Conservancy’s own expert anglers. During this clinic, participants of all ages will learn how to tie knots, bait a hook, drop a line, and (with some luck) reel up a fish! Contribute to the Conservancy’s community science efforts as we collect data from our catch to assess the health of the East River.

No experience or supplies needed – equipment is provided but please note only a limited rods are available to loan and will be handed out on a first come, first served basis. 

All ages are welcome at this free event! Visit our FAQ’s for more information.

RSVPing is not required but recommended to receive reminders and last minute cancellation information in the event there’s inclement weather.
