At Wabasso School of Fish, Inc., we believe every child deserves the chance to connect with nature, discover the joy of fishing, and learn the importance of caring for our waterways. Based in Vero Beach, Florida, our nonprofit is dedicated to teaching kids and families how to fish safely and responsibly, while fostering a lifelong appreciation for the Indian River Lagoon and its unique ecosystem.
Through hands-on classes, shoreline fishing adventures, and interactive conservation lessons, we provide everything needed to get started—from rods, reels, and tackle to expert instruction. Our programs not only build fishing skills, but also teach water safety, environmental stewardship, and the value of protecting our natural resources for generations to come.
Whether it’s a child catching their first fish, a family spending quality time outdoors, or a community coming together to care for our lagoon, Wabasso School of Fish is making a splash—one cast at a time.
