1. The Brotherhood of the Jungle Cock derives its name
from the waxed neck feathers of the jungle fowl
shown below . This bird is currently on the
endangered species list.
2. The Brotherhood was founded in Maryland in the late
1930’s by a group of sportsmen dedicated to teaching the
love of fishing and the importance of conservation to
our youth. Our purpose is well summarized by the
following lines taken from our official Creed, drafted in
1939:
Enjoying as we do, only a life estate in the out of doors, and morally
charged in our time with the responsibility of handing it down
unspoiled to tomorrow’s inheritors, we individually undertake
annually to take at least one child a-fishing, instructing him or
her, as best we know, in the responsibilities that are soon to be
wholly his or hers.
The Ohio Brotherhood of the Jungle Cock was
organized in 1948 as the first official chapter.
3. Participants learn how to
clean their catch and how to
cook it. They learn how fish
tastes good when you were the
one who caught it. They learn
how to enjoy their catch at
home with their families
4. Students in their
second year learn to
make their own
spinners and jigs.
They can make as
many of these as they
like and can take
home what they’ve
made to try at home
5. Students in their third
year learn how to tie flies
and are able to take
home what they have
tied plus they take home
their own fly tying kits
6. Students in their
third year learn to
fly fish and spend
time learning how
to cast and catch a
fish
7. Students in their
fourth or fifth
year learn how to
make their own
fishing rods
which they’ll take
home after their
weekend.
8. Students in their
fourth year learn
to make their
own landing
net, which they’ll
take home after
the weekend
9. Students in their
fourth or fifth
year can make
their own filet
knife and sheath
10. A big part of our
program is
conservation and
education about the
world around us.
Students learn what
makes a healthy
stream and what
lives in a healthy
stream
11. We stock a pond with lots
of nice rainbow trout and
provide bait for the
students to use. Every
student gets a chance to
catch a nice trout, and
they can take them home
to enjoy
