Illinois Urban Fishing Program
“Access to Fishing”

The Orland Hills Recreation in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is offering an “Access To Fishing Program” . This program is designed for residents who would like to fish but do not own fishing equipment. A participant would register at the Community Center and rent a fishing pole free of charge. The pole rental will last for one week from the date of registration. If the participant is under 16 years of age, a Illinois Driver’s License from a parent or guardian must accompany the registration form. All participants will receive an educational packet with fishing goodies included. The Recreation Department has rods, reels and fishing supplies available. For more information, please contact the Recreation Department at 708-349-7211.

Catch & Release Fish Program Update!

The Recreation Department would like to thank all resident anglers for complying with the “Catch and Release Fish Program” . All species of fish that are caught are released. All anglers should be commended for their past and present cooperation. — Thank you.
