	The Sport Fishing Educational Program is designed to help anyone become more proficient in basic fishing techniques. Our programs are conducted in a safe, open learning environment and are especially designed for the beginning angler. This statewide program is designed to take advantage of the many fishable waters available in both rural and urban areas of the state. From urban lakes, to our largest reservoirs, to White Mountain streams, our program strives to provide a quality educational experience.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department uses sport fishing contractors, department personnel and qualified volunteer instructors to conduct fishing programs, throughout Arizona. The Arizona Game and Fish Department supplies all educational materials, rods, reels, bait and instruction. The normal fishing license requirements are waived during a department sponsored sport fishing program. All fishing programs are offered free of charge. Now that is great a deal!!
