Tell Congress - Support Traditional Tackle

by American Sportfishing Association 29 Apr 16:05 PDT

The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote this week on H.R. 615, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act.

This bill would prohibit federal land management agencies from arbitrarily banning the use of traditional lead tackle on public lands and waters. It would support science-based management and ensure that state fish and wildlife agencies are given the proper authority to inform these decisions.

Tell Congress to vote "YES" on the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act today!
