Boat Captains
The success of Lake Agassiz High School Fishing League is highly dependent on the volunteer boat captains who give their time, talent and passion for fishing to the student anglers. Boat Captains are don't need to be a professional angler or have year's of experience on the water. Rather, they are a host and mentor for our student anglers, teaching them about the sport, conservation and safety on the water. Volunteer Boat Captains agree to bring their boat to designated events and host a team of student anglers for for that event.
Volunteer for one outing for for an entire season, we appreciate any time that you might be able to provide! Let us know if you're interested by sending us a message below.
