Virtual Learning Opportunities
NDOW will host 7 virtual learning opportunities for your students! Our Southern and Western region angler education coordinators will be teaming up to provide your students the ultimate virtual TIC experience. Every webinar will be on Zoom from 10 -11am (give or take a few minutes) and will include a Q&A session at the end. If you miss a webinar, all webinars will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel to view the following week. Please make sure to register your class prior to the start of the webinar to ensure you receive the correct link for the class.
Our current webinar schedule is as follows:
January 23 - Egg Day! Lets have fun learning about how to set up an artificial tank to make sure our eggs are safe and have everything they need to survive. Also learn what to expect during TIC! You will also learn about a trout's habitat needs and lifecycle. This will be a great opportunity to learn what you can expect from your eggs while they hatch and grow. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZpTqPFa8R4mPBTj4WUdWjQ
January 30 - Discover what trout like to eat... and what like to eat trout! This webinar will discuss the food web our trout find themselves living in. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hvtNOLDRRF2zsChAguaBeA
February 6 - Let's go fishing! Learn about fishing basics and what you need to become an expert angler. Luckily you don't have to go far to be able to fish in Nevada (even though we are one of the driest states, who knew). Learn how to fish at some of our community ponds with CK at a pond in Carson City! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Z-3BgMOURQ69iLZN6XBV9A
