Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd let everyone know that we've started up a fishing team here at the University of Ottawa. The idea is to get more university kids out fishing, and hopefully, increase the level of interest in fishing for young people. We meet once a month on campus to plan excursions and tournaments, and to discuss different fishing techniques.

This year marks the introduction of the Canadian Collegiate Bass Championships and we're working towards entering several teams!

Our eventual goal will be to compete with American schools in College Bass tournaments (huge in the states although just starting up in Canada).

Anyways, just thought everyone might be interested to know about us!

Tight lines,

Lindsay Brown
UOBFT President

Sounds like a great idea. Welcome to F-H.

Welcome to FH Lindsay,

Interesting concept, hope everything works out! Joining Ottawa U as of Fall 2010 so I'll see you there.

Best of luck to you. I know I'll be following your progress....great idea.

Hi Lindsay,
Welcome to Fish-Hawk.
I am interested to hear that you have a Fishing Club on Campus.
My university years were a long time ago but I would be interested to know if most of your club members are from Ottawa or are they from out of town.
If you ever get a web site going, send us the link.
Good Luck!
Super

Does that mean I can be a mature student and go back to university and take fishing which I see as more useful than a BA at least I can feed myself.

cool!
two years ago I would have been all over this.

hi lindsay, i work at a university, any info you could give us would be great....i would like to ask around here to get some feedback, who knows we might get a team from here....

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the interest. Here are a couple links to check out:

As for starting the club, I put up posters around the university advertising a meeting and made a facebook group. If you've got any other questions, feel free to ask. The more universities we can get involved the better!
