The Angling Ambassador Program

The BC Wildlife Federation and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC have partnered together to offer the Angling Ambassador program designed to encourage new anglers and families to go fishing in BC. Angling Ambassadors offer free fishing advice to anglers at easily accessible lakes that support healthy and abundant fish stocks. Angling Ambassadors are BC Wildlife Federation Club members that volunteer to be on site at designated lakes to provide instruction, explain fishing regulations and proper equipment use, provide information about other fishing opportunities in the area and promote the importance of conservation. This is a great opportunity for new anglers and families to learn from experienced anglers and enjoy a fun day of fishing!
