In remembrance of Brayden Bahme, a Cheney High School student who died in a tragic P.E. class accident last year, the Isaac Foundation is hosting its first-ever youth fishing event. Aptly titled “Fish Pockets” after Bahme, who loved fishing and would often come home with his catch in his pockets, this free event aims to connect neurodivergent youths with peer mentors who can help them learn to fish too. This mentoring will take place at a handful of event stations that teach certain aspects of the hobby, such as how to be safe on the water, choose the right bait, cast the rod and clean fish reeled in. Plus, there will be prizes available for participating youth. Attention parents: Make sure to check your children’s pockets before coming home — there might be a fish in there.
