I have some rods, reels and other misc. fishing equipment that I would like to donate but have no idea where to take it. I would prefer it went to getting kids involved in fishing. It is all good used just don’t use it anymore, and I hardly fish with anyone that doesn’t have there own stuff (main reason i kept it around). Does anyone know where i could take it? thanks [fishin] ---

Maybe Drew Cushing will respond as I know he is or has been involved with the Community Fishing areas and getting programs set up for kids. ---

Tube Dude is always helping people out with fishing gear.too. Kids, less fortunate fisher folks, newbies etc. Between those 2 guys should find a home for your extra gear ---

Spring/summer fishing classes for kids should be starting up soon. They could probably use some equipment. ---

We love to accept used fishing tackle at the Meadow Creek Pond in Rou. It that’s too far, try one of the other Community Ponds. We set the rods up with new line and give them to kids that can’t afford to buy their own. Either way, thank you for your donations. ---

If you don’t find a good home for your equipment, me an most of my friends have kids that could put it to good use. We usually have enough rods for the kids but there’s always times that we could use a spare or two
