Rod Loan
Borrow a rod and tackle to try fishing!
This unique program allows families and other groups to try fishing without having to purchase gear. At no cost, you can borrow spinning rods with reels and a basic box of tackle.
You’ll find Rod Loan locations at Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC hatcheries and a number of tourism visitor centres and tackle shops throughout the province.
The Rod Loan program is generously supported by Luhr Jensen.
