2013 Iowa High School and Scholastic Clay Target Program State Championships

The program for the 2013 Iowa High School and Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) State Championship events is now available online at: http://www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/shootingsports/eprogram.pdf and contains important information for coaches, athletes, spectators and vendors alike. We look forward to seeing you at one or more of these events!

This team-based clay target shooting program is changing the lives of grade, middle, and high school students in Iowa and nation-wide. Through organized clay target shooting, youth learn lifelong skills such as firearm safety, teamwork, respect for self and others, mental focus, and self-discipline.

Taking Kids Fishing Tips

Have fun
Take pictures
Keep the trip short - a couple hours at most
Make sure there are restrooms near
Choose a spot close to home
Emphasize that fishing is fun, catching is a bonus
Plan alternate activities to do if the weather turns bad or your child/children get bored
Take plenty of breaks
Leave your fishing rod at home - it is about the kids fishing
Pick a sunny day with moderate temperatures
Morning trips are best - the fish bite beter and kids have more energy
Pack plenty of snacks and drinks

Who needs a fishing license?

All anglers 16 years and older must have a fishing license to fish Iowa waters.

Yearly, seven-day, or 24-hour licenses are available. Licenses are sold at many locations including Dahls, Hy-Vee, Kmart, Wal-Mart, the county recorder, bait and tackle
shops, banks, sporting goods stores, gas stations or online through the IDNR at: http://www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/FishingLicensesLaws.aspx

You may also call 1-800-367-1188 to purchase a license 24 hours a day.

License fees and an excise on fishing equipment fund stocking, shoreline and fish habitat improvement, construction and repair of fish jetties, fish surveys, and angler education programs.
