Turn your love of angling into a fun, educational 
opportunity for your community. 

Adults who really see fishing as a great way to relate to kids, 
and a great way to help out their communities, can look on our 
web site for angler education instructor classes. :11

Ann Miller, aquatic education coordinator, says all 
instructor classes are listed on the web site.

They're mainly clustered in the major metro areas, Houston, 
Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio ... This is where most of 
our classes are taking place. :09

Instructor classes are free, and open to people seventeen 
years old and older.

We provide all of the equipment, the training, written materials, 
teaching materials ... to help community leaders involve their 
community members in fishing. :11

I'm not an angler, but when I took this class last month, I 
had so much fun, and learned so much, that I know I've 
found a new way to enjoy the outdoors.

It's a lot of fun. And the best part of my job is hearing from 
those volunteers who enjoy the program. :06

Become an angler education instructor ... log onto the 
TPWD web site to find out how. 

That's our show for today ... supported by the Sport Fish 
Restoration program.. working to increase fishing, and 
boating opportunities in Texas ... 

For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti.
