Resources for Aquatic Education Programs
Passport to Fishing
The Passport to Fishing program provides skills, techniques and information that allows any beginning angler to start fishing in their own community. The program consists of four stations focusing on hands-on participation and a strong conservation message.
The Passport to Fishing program is designed to be:
- Appealing to various age and interest groups
- Adjustable to highlight activities and species unique to a particular region
- Appropriate to any skill and education level
- Adaptable to any setting whether inside or at the water's edge
- Can be taught throughout the year
Passport to Fishing programs are conducted by trained volunteer instructors. For more information on how you can become a Passport to Fishing instructor, contact your local Wildlife District Office.
