The free event from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, August 7, celebrates responsible fishing practices and helps anglers catch more-and bigger- fish through fun and expert education.

Visitors will enjoy wine tastings offered by Redwood Creek winery, a beer tasting with a selection of brews, fishing gear giveaways and a cooking demonstration featuring quality fish by Islamorada Fish Company chef John Schow.

Fishing experts, including Bass Pro Shops pro Mike Langford and pro angler Rick Riley, will cover everything from fly fishing to bass in a panel discussion. Guests will also have their chance to win door prizes given out throughout the evening.

A silent auction loaded with good stuff from Frabill, Hill’s Discount Flies, The Clean Environment Company, Therm-A-Rest, New Pro Products, Bioline, Family Fish & Game will raise money to benefit Recycled Fish.

See what the event is about by viewing a video of a past event, a Fall Evening with Recycled Fish.  The fun continues in 2009 with the series of Angler Appreciation nights, planned through December at Islamorada Fish Company.

Recycled Fish, an Omaha-based non-profit, is an organization made up of anglers committed to living a lifestyle of stewardship both on and off the water, because our lifestyle runs downstream. Through education and events, including the nationwide 24-Hour Fish-A-Thon, Stewardship Tips or fishing tournaments, get involved by taking the Stewardship Pledge at RecycledFish.org.
