This year, the OFAH, with generous support from Ontario Power Generation, will also present its popular OFAH Travelling TackleShare program to participating Ontario Parks and other locations across the province. The three-hour Travelling TackleShare program includes an interactive workshop that teaches kids about fish identification, aquatic habitat and the threat of invasive species to freshwater ecosystems. The workshop also includes introductory fishing techniques, followed by the opportunity to go fishing using rods and reels provided by the OFAH TackleShare Program.
