The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC's Learn to Fish program teaches over 30,000 people per year the basics of how, when, and where to catch fish in fresh water. The Society developed the program in 2006 in response to the documented sharp decline in angler participation throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Through our outreach programs, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC is working to remove barriers, and to engage and inspire a whole new generation of anglers to take up fishing. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, funders, and partners, we’re able to deliver most of these programs to new anglers for free. Financial support is provided by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Columbia Basin Trust, Luhr Jensen, Ram Trucks, Yamaha Motor Canada, and Teck Highland Valley Copper.
Programs are held at our Visitor Centres in Abbotsford, Clearwater and Fort Steele (near Cranbrook), and at lakes in municipal and provincial parks throughout the Lower Mainland, southern Vancouver Island, Cariboo, Kootenays and Thompson-Okanagan.
