Fishing pole kits now available for check-out at Anythink

Anythink Libraries are providing fishing pole kits available for check-out at their various branches

The kits, which include a fishing pole rod and reel combo and tackle box with hooks and other items, were generously donated by Denver-based fishing tackle company Eagle Claw. The fishing sets complement Anythink’s mySummer program, which collaborates with Colorado Parks & Wildlife to encourage outdoor learning, critical thinking and exploration.

In addition to fishing pole kits, Anythink also participates in the Check Out Colorado State Parks program, offering backpacks for check-out that include a Colorado parks pass, compass, binoculars and guides to help people discover Colorado trails and identify native flora and fauna.
