"The most outstanding conservation achievement in Canada"
Are you eager to experience the excitement of fishing but you do not have your own equipment? Are you anxious to share your fishing experiences with a beginner? O.F.A.H. Tackle Share is your answer!
O.F.A.H. Tackle Share is a copyright program of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. This program is designed to lend fishing rods, reels and basic tackle to children and novice anglers who do not have their own fishing equipment and are eager to experience the excitement of fishing. We know that just one fishing trip, for example, can inspire a first-hand understanding of environmental protection, and a lifelong dedication to conservation.
The O.F.A.H. Tackle Share program has arrived to more than 100 communities across Ontario, giving aspiring anglers an opportunity to go fishing. Participating Ontario Provincial Parks, public libraries, Conservation Authorities, youth camps and Big Brothers and Big Sisters organizations host O.F.A.H. Tackle Share loaner sites. Through these locations, children and new anglers can sign out a rod and reel and an assortment of tackle the same way they would borrow library materials.
Fishing is a wonderful way to get outdoors and enjoy some fun with family and friends. Angling teaches young and old alike, first-hand, about the importance of healthy waterways. Thanks to O.F.A.H. Tackle Share, money or accessibility to equipment will no longer be a barrier. Children and first time anglers will now have the opportunity to experience fishing, and in turn, develop a lifelong interest in conserving our natural resources.
