Go Fish! Electrofishing

Bring a friend on a specially outfitted boat for a fishing excursion like none other! See how ecologists use low-voltage currents to temporarily — and harmlessly — stun fish, and then help net and record any that rise to the surface before returning them to the water. Learn how electrofishing helps ecologists study the overall quality — and fishing opportunities — of local waters. April or May 2025.

Includes:

• Gift certificate for a 2-hour electrofishing experience (two individuals, ages 18 and up) with a Forest Preserve District ecologist

• Gaiter buff and sleeve protectors

• Framed photo of a DuPage riverway
