Alaska Fishing Special Events Participation
As a family owned business we believe in trying to give a little back to our community by participating in the various Kenai River charitable events sponsored by Kenai River Professional Guide Association (KRPGA) and the Kenai River Sportsman Association (KRSA). In the last few years we have participated in the following events. Take a Veteran Fishing Day, Take a kid Fishing Day, Make a Wish Foundation fishing day, Salmon Celebration, and, Teach a Kid to Fish Day, which is fun and educational for the entire family.• Take a Veteran Fishing Day
Each
year
on September 11, Veterans Day, KRPGA members volunteer to take over 100
veterans and active duty military personnel fishing at no cost. This is
our way of saying thank you to the individuals who have valiantly served,
and are serving, our country.

• Take A Kid Fishing Day
KRPGA
volunteers Steve and Rondi McClure spend one day of their busy season
each year taking a kid fishing with a parent. This is their way of giving
back to the community and helps kids to bond with their parents in one
of the most enjoyable of Alaskan pastimes.
This
is a most rewarding program, as it gives us an opportunity to teach children
proper angling etiquette and sportsmanship. In addition, it's fun for
the guides as well as the kids and their parents.

• Teach A Kid To Fish Day
In
a joint effort beween various groups that include Alaska Department of
Fish and Game, the KRSA, KRPGA, US Coast Guard and many other volunteers,
children aged 6 to 12 have the opportunity to learn about one of Alaska's
most valuable resources. In years past, between 800 and 1200 children
have attended this event in a single day. The KRPGA has been involved
in this event since 1999.
• Make a Wish Foundation Fishing Day

Daniels. Tyler, who suffered a traumatic brain injury last year, fished
with his sister, Mikayla, and his mom and dad on the Kenai River on Tuesday
as part of a visit to the Kenai Peninsula sponsored by the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. The Daniels live in Alverton, Pa.

Peninsula Clarion Online June 11, 2004 - Boy gets fish wish
Each participating organizations educational program teaches something different to the children. The Department of Fish and Game allows the kids to release a trout into Johnson Lake, the Coast Guard teaches about boat safety, the KSRA gives fly fishing lessons, and the KRPGA teaches the children spin casting techniques. Indeed, in Alaska, learning about fish and how to fish is almost a necessity.
