Do you remember the first time you cast your line into the deep water of the lake?

Do you remember the first time you reeled in the biggest catch of your young life?

Do you remember fighting the fish-of-all-fish and how it felt when you pulled it into the boat?

These moments that are embedded in your mind are important to you. Now it’s your turn to provide similar experiences for the next generations.

The first step in this lifelong lesson is finding a great place for the kids to fish. The Alabama Bass Trail provides an endless number of settings suitable for teaching young anglers. Helping them develop a love for fishing will also encourage a healthy enthusiasm for nature as they learn about the creatures and plants that live beneath the surface of the water.

Fishing brings an eager practice of survival and motor skills that are helpful throughout life. How to tie knots, how and where to cast a line, and how to bait a hook based on the desired catch are all lessons that can be learned easily and mastered over time.

Any season is a good time to teach the youngest generation a new and exciting hobby! Gather the gear needed to begin, and hit the road to explore the thirteen lakes that make up the Alabama Bass Trail!
