Fish Iowa! Games is a competition where students cast from three distances using
the flipping, pitching, and overhand techniques. It was developed by the Iowa
Sports Foundation, in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
in 2006. Since then, over 90,500 K-12 students throughout the state have
participated.
Register your school or your class now to secure your competition kit. The competition may be held anytime between February 1 and May 1.
P.E.
teachers from across Iowa have enjoyed offering this activity to their students
for years:

skill – It’s a great confidence builder for students. It doesn’t matter your
size, age, or gender...everybody can compete on a fair level.”
–
Susan Monahan Blair, Orchard Place Campus School, Des Moines

“Fish Iowa! Games is a
creative way to ‘lure’ kids into the joys of fishing.” –
Mat Daniels, Kanesville High School, Council Bluffs
v
“We have been
participating the last 4 years in the Fish Iowa! Games casting contest – we
start by watching the video that is provided about the different types of
casting…then we usually have a practice period – the kids all have a great
time, whether they have fished before or not!” – Tracy
McGregor, Nashua-Plainfield Schools
v “Great
program, keep offering programs like this, I’m always looking for ways to get
kids outside.” – Paul Rogalla, Indianola Middle School
