SIGOURNEY — Keokuk County 4-H is recognizing the achievements of several local youth who are participating in the Iowa 4-H Statewide Fishing Club, including member Levi Voyles, who earned third place in the statewide bass competition with a 17-inch fish.
The Statewide Fishing Club is open to Iowa youth in grades 4—12 and offers educational webinars, self-led fishing tournaments, and opportunities to learn about Iowa’s aquatic ecosystems and safe outdoor recreation. The program aims to help youth build fishing skills, gain confidence, and enjoy hands-on learning in nature.
"We are proud of Levi’s accomplishment and all the youth who are participating in this unique statewide program," said Ashley Yedlik, Keokuk County Youth Coordinator.
