YOUNG ANGLERS TO RECEIVE FREE FISHING TIPS BOOKLET
New guide book to be handed out at Wal-Mart Kids All-American Fishing Derbies
KETCHUM, Okla. Nestle Waters North America has published World's Greatest
Fishing Tips for Kids, a waterproof booklet that is perfectly sized for
young anglers' tackle boxes. All kids 6 to 16 participating in a Wal-Mart
Kids All-American Fishing Derby -- an estimated 300,000 this year -- will
receive the guide free of charge. There will be an estimated 1,800
sanctioned events taking place in communities across the country in 2004.
The eight-page guide contains cleverly written and illustrated fishing tips
that kids can learn from as well as enjoy reading. World's Greatest
Fishing Tips for Kids features Sebastian T. Bobber, the "Official
Spokesbobber of Youth Fishing" and the mascot of the Wal-Mart Kids
All-American Fishing Derby program. Tips included in the guide cover such
topics as casting, bait selection, knots and water safety. On each page,
the reader will also learn entertaining factoids about bottled water.
The booklet grew out of Nestle Waters North America's sponsorship of the
Wal-Mart Kids All-American Fishing Derby program. "We wanted to actively
participate in the program by offering the kids something they could really
use," said Chris Roehl, Wal-Mart Team Leader for Nestle Waters. "This
piece also provides a great vehicle to reinforce the importance and
benefits of daily water consumption."
In addition to being handed out at the on-water youth fishing events, the
tips are also available on Sebastian T. Bobber's web sitelet, Sebastian's
Corner, located at [url "http://www.kids-fishing.com"][#0000ff]www.kids-fishing.com[/#0000ff][/url].
"A million thanks go to our partners at Nestle Waters for the vision and
support to produce the greatest tips ever for young, beginning anglers,"
said Daniel Johnson of Hooked on Fishing International, the organization
that produces the hugely-successful derby program, now in its eighteenth year.
Nestle Waters North America, which markets the natural spring water brands
of Arrowhead, Deer Park, Ice Mountain, Nestle Pure Life, Ozarka, Poland
Spring and Zephyrhills, is just one of a group of mainstream companies
which supports the youth fishing program. Joining Nestle Waters and
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the title sponsor of the Kids All-American Fishing
