Fishing Wisconsin: Angler Education

You can be a part of Wisconsin's conservation tradition by getting involved in the Angler Education Program. Angler Education helps to provide youth with the opportunity to:

• master basic fishing skills
• explore Wisconsin's aquatic resources
• develop a set of ethics to help ensure that Wisconsin's lakes and streams will remain bountiful for generations to come

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is looking for volunteers...

• who enjoy working with children
• who like to fish or would like to learn by helping to teach others

Volunteers provide...

• time
• enthusiasm
• a commitment to offer Angler Education Program in their communities

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources provides...

• access to fishing equipment through our loaner program
• training workshops for angler education instructors
• classroom and club materials to trained instructors
• volunteer fishing coaches and fishing buddies

Here's what's new in Angler Education

• A Fine Kettle of Fish [PDF 782KB]. We've posted the 1977 cookbook that helped gain culinary respect for "rough" fish and put a dent in their populations.
• My First Fish [PDF 527KB]. Print this certificate to combine fishing with writing skills and help launch the next Hemingway.
