Know Your Fish and Eat Them Too
Learn to identify the fish found in Otter Point Creek and the Bush River. To test your knowledge, we'll use icings to do biologically accurate decorating of fish cookies, and then munch down your favorites. (This would be a great warm-up for the "Hooked on Fishing" clinic coming in April!)
