Where to Fish

Community Fishing and Watershed Education

Community programs provide opportunities to enjoy aquatic resources while helping community members understand the role they play in maintaining clean and healthy waterways. This is achieved through the cooperation of community institutions including schools, service clubs, local government, park agencies, water districts, storm water pollution prevention programs, tackle retailers, CDFW and anyone else that is interested in kids, fishing and clean water. The ultimate goal is to create repeatable fishing experiences, improve recreational opportunities for residents of your community, and to create stewards of our waterways.
