Page 4 The INDEPENDENT, January 18, 2007 ODFW seeks leaders for angling classes If you have a passion for fishing and want to share your love of the sport with others, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is looking for you. The ODFW’s Angler and Aquatic Education Program is recruiting individuals to be- come instructors to introduce children and adults to the sport of fishing. You must be at least 21 years-old to participate in the instructor program. “It is very rewarding to see children and adults excited about fishing and instructors play an important role in mak- ing sure the learning environ- ment is a positive experience,” said ODFW Angler and Aquatic Education Program Coordina- tor Chris Willard. The Angler and Aquatic Edu- cation Program is a certified training program that teaches Angling Skills, Angler Ethics and Responsibilities, Water Safety and Basic Understand- ing of Aquatic Ecology. Training courses are avail- able over the next three months at the following locations; Janu- ary 27 in Bend, February 17 in Salem and March 3 in La Grande. This training will provide in- dividuals with the knowledge and skills needed to success- fully share their fishing expert- ise with others. Programs are conducted throughout Oregon in conjunction with a variety of groups including schools, boys and girls clubs, 4-H, police ath- letic leagues, scouting troops, Campfire Girls groups, park and recreation departments, senior centers and retail stores. “Getting involved in the An- gler and Aquatic Education Program is a great way to give back to the sport,” said Willard. If interested, contact Willard at 503-947-6017, or by email at chris.a.willard@state.or.us.
