Lack of access is the primary reason that keeps anglers from enjoying a day on the water. [url=http://keepamericafishing.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Fk6PDanUF5PTpWgHceHUwZucCJ8X9ffI]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 important legislation.
