Youth Angling Enhancement Program

Program Overview
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation invite you to introduce youth to the fun of fishing through the Youth Angling Enhancement Program.

YAEP offers a host of fishing opportunities at stocked ponds throughout the state. On-site volunteers provide equipment, teach children how to bait and cast, and help kids "reel in" their catch. The program provides a unique opportunity for children to learn how to fish and discover just how much fun it can be!

These programs are funded by the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman-Robertson) and the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act (Wallop-Breaux).
