A new crop of anglers is forming at East Lincoln Elementary School, according to school officials.

The young Eagles will have an opportunity to learn all about fishing – from proper casting techniques to the biology of fish and beyond – thanks to a partnership with Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency and Tennessee Bass Nation.

Fourth graders at East Lincoln Elementary School met Tennessee Bass Nation’s Jake Davis and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Biologist Jessie Taylor last Tuesday during their physical education class with Jeff Hale for an introduction to all things angler. Hale, Davis and Taylor collaborated to start a pilot program for fishing in schools for the Eagles.
