Sun Journal features Fishing Club
The Sun Journal highlighted the University of Maine Fishing Club formed a year ago by students Cody Rubner and Brian Volkernick.
The club’s website says its mission is to “share fishing knowledge, foster opportunities for fishing experiences for undergraduates, study the biology and ecology associated with fishing and promote conservation of local ecosystems — all within the University of Maine community.”
The club has about 50 student members. In addition to competing in fishing tournaments, it hosts guest speakers, assists the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife with tagging trout and participates in the Landowner Appreciation Cleanup Contest.
