The Denver Bassmaster's promote  and support opportunities for all boys and girls , between the ages of 8 - 18 ,who have an interest in learning how to fish. The goal of the program is to teach these young anglers skills and techniques while on the water along with lessons in sportsmanship, conservation, and competition.

The youth are split out into two divisions. The Juniors division is for participants between the aged 8 - 14. The High School division if for participants aged 15 - 18. Both divisions will be eligible to fish in all DBM sponsored events, In addition, each division will have separate opportunities to participate in events run by Colorado BASS Nation and B.A.S.S.

DBM sponsored events are hosted on public & private lakes and ponds throughout the Denver Metro area. Most involve fishing from shore but there will be some waters we can launch boats and the adult members of the club will bring their boats  to fish from.
