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 are needed – equipment is provided but please note only a limited number of 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!
