Knives Down Rods Up

Field notes

KDRU frames fishing as a structured alternative rather than a recreational add-on: young people can attend without equipment or prior experience, fish alongside mentors, and potentially continue through school or youth-group programs. The homepage also separates routes for young people, parents and carers, schools and youth workers, and supporters. Its account of the founder’s loss, youth offending, mentoring, and return to fishing supplies the program’s stated origin and rationale.
