Michael Scherer and Fishing's Future.

Michael Scherer is a catalyst for Fishing's Future. It is a program that is active in 18 states with more than 35,000 participants. One of the largest groups is in Katy ISD with more than 14,000 students and their families. Scherer explains that it's all about getting families into the outdoors. He also says that they have the capabilities to accommodate anyone despite situations or handicaps. Scherer says they teach how to find, catch and cook fish. There are four tips: 1. Learn the fish 2. Cast where the fish are 3. Know before you go (regulations and keeping a journal of knowledge) 4. If you don't know let it go - It's all about making and saving memories.   One last bit of policy is the 3R's: Recruit, Retain, and Reactivate. Scherer says that fishing them is not a "one and done" deal. Fishing's Future takes families fishing multiple times.
