Welcome to the Future Anglers Foundation

LEARN ABOUT FISHING THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES

Through passionate anglers and outdoor-oriented organizations, the education and outreach of the 501c3 Future Angler Foundation grows future participation in sportfishing, one smile at a time.

We find those who have a passion for fishing are just as passionate about teaching others, too. That’s why we work with anglers and organizations to share a slice of the great outdoors through education and outreach about fishing.

For many of us, fishing is part of our culture, but that might not be the case for everyone. Not all kids have someone to show them how much fun fishing can be. Through education and outreach, we bring young and old, urban and rural, male and female in various ethnic cultures the joys of fishing.

Our programs focus on education and outreach – often with a fishing pole in hand. Growing the participant base of sportfishing is important to us, and we help anglers and organizations who want to teach others about fishing. What’s not to like about more people learning to fish?

Fishing builds confidence. We help put fishing rods in kids’ and adults’ hands for the first time. With a little bit of skill building, like how to tie a knot or bait a hook, we see new anglers’ confidence soar as the bobber dances on the top of the water and a fish is on the end of the line.
