After fishing professionally for walleye and guiding on Lake Winnebago and Green Bay for many many years, Karch wanted to give back to the sport of fishing.  In 2009 he formed Learn 2 Fish With Us, their mission is: “Grow the sport of fishing by educating and inspiring beginner and experienced anglers.” He does this through FREE fishing clinics that are hosted across Midwest states.  He teaches families, youth and adults on all the skills and equipment needed to begin fishing.  He has a variety of seminars which include Fishing Basics, Ice Fishing Basics, Advanced Fishing Basics, Walleye Fishing and Pan Fishing.  Thanks to his great sponsors, each year they give away at least fifteen thousand in fishing equipment to attendees of their fishing clinics. To date, he has hosted nearly three hundred fishing clinics and has educated over fifty thousand people to the great sport of fishing.  To learn more about Learn 2 Fish With Us or have myself host a FREE fishing clinic for you group, organization or school, email CaptainGreg@Learn2FishWithUs.com or visit our website at www.Learn2FishWithUs.com or Facebook page at @Learn2FishWithUs.
