Notice: Due to pending updates for the 2024-25 school year, the digital DFW-772 (request for fish eggs) is temporarily unavailable. Please wait to submit egg requests until the form is back online (expected by September 1).

How to Get Involved

Teachers: The first step in getting started is to attend a free workshop. The workshop is required for participation in the program. Many teachers obtain grant money or funding through other sources for the equipment needed.

Volunteers: Help is needed in a variety of ways including delivering eggs to schools, classroom presentations, and assisting with field trips. Angling Clubs and other organizations may donate their time and/or resources.
