The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) is the state agency responsible for managing and protecting Oklahoma’s fisheries. This includes making sure fish populations stay healthy and that fishing opportunities remain available for future generations. A person who fishes is called an angler.
The Oklahoma Fishing in the Schools Program is one of many programs offered to schools across the state as part of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s Outdoor Education suite. Along with the Oklahoma National Archery in the Schools Program, Explore Bowhunting, Explore Bowfishing, Oklahoma Scholastic Shooting Sports Program and Hunter Education, these programs offer exciting hands on skills and life sports that can be introduced to students in the classroom.
It not only introduces students to the lifelong sport of fishing, but teaches them many important life lessons. These lessons include safety, ethics, harvesting, and more!
