TackleShare
The Township of South Algonquin Public Library has partnered with Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and Ontario Power Generation to provide rod, reel and tackle at no cost to our patrons. Equipment is available for one week at a time.
Initiated by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and proudly sponsored by Ontario Power Generation, the TackleShare Program gives new and young anglers the opportunity to go fishing at no cost. There are many barriers to introducing new anglers to fishing on today’s waters. TackleShare removes these barriers by providing the equipment and knowledge to get them started. Participating anglers simply sign out a rod and reel, as well as an assortment of tackle in the same way that they would borrow library material.
