Did You Know Ferris State University Has a Fishing Club?

If you love to fish and haven't decided on a college yet, this thought may sway you, did you know Ferris State offers a fishing club?

Ferris State Fishing Club

When I was going to college there was no video game development, beer-making, cannabis cultivation, shooting guns, or fishing classes, or I might have chosen a different career.

Ferris State offers its students interested in fishing an opportunity to compete in fishing tournaments. If this class had been available when I went to college, I would have signed up.

The Ferris State Fishing Club offers those interested in fishing the chance to join a team that competes in tournaments around Michigan and the United States. Tournaments like BASS College Series Midwest Conference, Cabela's Collegiate Series, FLW Northern Region, and Michigan College Bass Circuit. The club is also involved in salmon and ice fishing tournaments.

To be a part of the Ferris State Fishing Club email fsufish@ferris.edu.
