Take Me Fishing Programs Offered by Fish & Boat Commission

There may be no more beautiful season in Pennsylvania than Fall and no better way to enjoy the Commonwealth’s autumnal beauty than time spent fishing with your family.

The Fish and Boat Commission is offering a number of fishing programs this fall, designed especially for families.

The programs will include instruction on the types of fish found in Pennsylvania, fish habitats, safety, equipment, outdoor manners and protecting our water resources. Participants will learn basic fishing skills and get to put those skills to use.
