NCWRC hosting rod-building, lure-making workshops
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is offering two free fishing workshops in August at the John E. Pechmann Fishing Education Center, in Fayetteville.
Basic Rod Building Workshop
On Aug. 13, a Basic Rod-Building Workshop will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This workshop will cover the basic techniques for building a 6-foot, medium-action spinning rod. All tools and supplies will be provided. Due to space constraints, the workshop is limited to 15 participants age 16 and older.
Soft Plastic Lure-Making Workshop
On Aug. 17, a Soft Plastic Lure-Making Workshop will be held for participants ages 8 and older from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The workshop will cover the fundamentals of creating artificial worms, lizards, crayfish and other soft plastic baits. Participants will create multiple lures to take home.
Pre-registration online is required for both workshops. Check-in for both workshops begins 30 minutes prior to the start of the program. For more information about the workshops, contact Carpenter at 910-868-5003 or Thomas.carpenter@ncwildlife.org.
