Help make fishing access a priority on federal lands and waters

Help make fishing access a priority on federal lands and waters

Access issues could be rectified by bill passage

Lack of access is the primary reason that keeps anglers from enjoying a day on the water. Take action now to help ensure that current and future generations are able to access our nation’s public lands and waters. 

Surveys have shown that about one in five anglers have lost access to a favorite fishing spot in the last year. With expanding land development and growing regulations restricting angler access, federally owned lands are more important than ever for recreational fishing opportunity.

In early 2013, Sen. Murkowski (R-AK) and Rep. Benishek (R-MI) introduced the Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage and Opportunities Act (S. 170, H.R. 1825) into both chambers of Congress. This bill would facilitate the use of, and access to, federal public lands and waters for recreational fishing, hunting and shooting.

Please send a message to your legislators to co-sponsor this import...
