The Orange Hug

Join Uncle Brian, Aunt Gini, and Gabey as they trade the backyard for the big water of the State Park! The blue Jeep is packed, the sun is shining, and the marina is full of wonder. From counting waddling ducklings to spotting a sleepy sunning turtle, there is so much for a Little Angler to see. But before the trio can board the big pontoon boat, they have a very important stop to make. Ranger Marty is waiting at the office with the most important gear of all: The Orange Hug!

All Aboard the Pontoon!

The "Orange Hug" is snapped tight, the sun is shining, and the crew is ready! Join Uncle Brian, Aunt Gini, and Gabey as they step off the dock and onto their biggest adventure yet at the State Park. A pontoon boat is like a magic "floating patio," but being a Little Angler means learning the rules of the water. From the shiny buttons at the Helm to the "prolonged blast" of the horn, Gabey discovers that staying safe is just as much fun as catching a fish!

Wiggles in the Wild

The pontoon has reached the shore, and the mission is clear: we need bait! Join Uncle Brian, Aunt Gini, and Gabey as they trade the boat for the beach and head into the woods for a Worm Safari. Learning to handle wiggly worms can be a little "icky," but with a bit of bravery and a pair of yellow boots, anything is possible! Along the way, our Little Anglers learn how to be quiet observers of deer and why we always give Mr. Skunk plenty of "stinky" space.

The Little Bluegill

All hands on deck! The sun is out, the motor is humming, and the hunt for the "Bird Party" is on. In the fifth adventure of The Little Angler series, Gabey, Aunt Gini, and Uncle Brian leave the shore behind to explore the open waters of the State Park. Being a Little Angler is about more than just catching fish—it’s about taking care of the water we love. Join Gabey as he becomes a "Litter Hero," learns the quiet magic of The Waiting Game, and tries his famous secret chant to call the fish to the boat! Will the bluegill hear Gabey’s call? Grab your net and snap on your Orange Hug—it’s time to find out!
