About the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Tackle Loaner Program: The Illinois "Access to Fishing" fishing pole loaner program was started in 1997 and remains a unique way for anglers to try fishing without having to buy equipment. Fishing poles that were purchased by IDNR or donated to the IDNR have been placed in establishments throughout Illinois, such as in libraries, lake-side concession stands, bait stores, etc. This program is available to any Illinois angler who is interested in going fishing!
