Hey everyone: Seems like every few days we get another kick that points to less access for rec fishers. I like the term “public fisheries “that Pat used recently. Anyway I agree fully that we need to engage the masses if we are going to get political leaders to a knowledge the benefits of our public fisheries. And more importantly invest in the resource that gives so much.
That said, I believe we need to have a message that is positive as well. Focus on what it gives not only what is being lost. Both are important.
As part of that effort I am seeking pictures, stories , news “clippings “ data anything highlighting the positive work, donations of time and money, and social benefits that so many give and receive in the name of enhancing, protecting and utilizing our fisheries.
This can be links, copy and pastes, or even pictures of smiling kids , families, volunteering, fishing, viewing, at hatcheries etc. whatever. Pics can be your own experiences. Your kids opening a gift that is tackle, or at the fishing store, absolutely anything showing what we do. Anything you think will enhance a positive perspective-of sport fishing .
Disclosure: anything you send you do so agreeing that it can be used on social media, this forum, in emails to officials or any other public display.
I am going to try and put some of it into my efforts to help engage the public , and sway political attitude.
You can post it here as well email it to me . Just remember only send stuff you are willing to have shared publicly.
