Become a TPWD Certified Angler Education Instructor
This free workshop is open to anyone 18 or older interested in learning and teaching fishing skills in their communities. All equipment and materials are provided for the workshop. After certification, the TPWD Angler Education program provides the curriculum, equipment (where available), materials and support to help volunteers successfully introduce others to fishing. Ideal for fishing clubs, teachers, scout, or youth group leaders, after school or camp staff and community volunteers. TEA-approved CPE available for teachers.
Pre-registration is required and is limited to 12 attendees.
This workshop is followed by a Fly Fishing Instructor Workshop in the afternoon, from 2:30-5pm. If you have fly fishing experience and would like to become certified as a fly fishing instructor as well, please register for that event here.
Participants should wear comfortable clothing and footwear appropriate for outdoor activities.
Please dress for weather conditions and bring water and snacks - bring a sack lunch if staying for the Fly Fishing certification workshop.
