From aspiring teachers, accountants and business CEOs to musicians, writers and artists, the UNI Fishing Club is doing its part to enhance the college experience in an untraditional way with opportunities for personal growth, teamwork and networking through fishing.
The club began in 2016 when Jack Mauer and Conner Hinckle became UNI students. They were part of a bass fishing club at Janesville High School and along with Ethan Butler shared a vision for a similar club at the college level.
“A lot of the bread and butter of the club is local stuff,” explained Brady Determan of Camanche, who came on board in 2017.
