Community Volunteer Programs
WCS for decades has taken pride volunteering in organized programs that teach kids how to fish. We regard ourselves as leaders in the community who want to contribute to helping develop the love for fishing with the next generations. It’s important to help them develop the desire and understanding, as they will be the future who foster and take control of our fishery.
About: CDFW Fishing In The City Program
The WCS Club sponsors "South Bay Fishing In The City" (SBFIC) event held at Sandy Wool Lake in Milpitas, or the Campbell Perc Ponds in Campbell California every year we are invited to. Young and new anglers under 16 years of age come from all over the SF Bay Area to learn fishing skills such as how to tie a knot, rig their rod, cast and bait their hook. To round out their education they learn about ecology and taking care of the environment. After they have become acquainted with their new skills, they get to apply what they have learned and have fun catching the fish in Sandy Wool Lake. You can read about this FIC program through their website: Fishing in the City Program Overview (ca.gov)
A series of videos has been developed by the FIC Program to enable beginners to learn the basics prior to going to this event.
They are available at (111) South Bay Fishing in the City Virtual Clinic - YouTube
