The U.S. House of Representatives is about to consider the SHARE Act, better known as the Sportsmen's Act. If passed, it would be the most significant angler and hunter legislation in decades, supporting public access and improved fish habitat across the nation.
The Sportsmen’s Act has taken many steps in its long journey toward enactment. Starting tomorrow, it will face one if its most significant steps, as it goes to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives where it will be voted upon.
This is one of the most significant legislative issues for the sportfishing industry in many years, so please take a moment to weigh in to your Representative TODAY and urge their support.
This bill protects traditional fishing equipment containing lead from unwarranted federal bans, requires federal land managers to prioritize fishing access, and blocks the National Park Service from arbitrarily closing waters to fishing without state approval (like they did at Biscayne National Park).
