The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Tackle Share program is now available through the Terrace Bay Public Library.
This program is designed to lend fishing equipment to youth and novice anglers who do not have their own.
Fishing is a wonderful way to get outdoors and enjoy some fun with family and friends. Angling teaches, young and old alike, first hand the importance of healthy waterways, and develops a lifelong interest in conserving our natural resources.
Anyone can sign out rods, reels, and tackle free of charge!
Check it out @ your library!
More information about the program is available at http://www.tackleshare.com
