Fishing Forum

Alright guys and gals, there is a rally set to oppose H.B. 187 at the Capital on Thursday February 19 at 10:00 AM. We'll be meeting on the east steps of the capital and moving as a group into the Rotunda area where there will be a press conference at 10:30 AM. Here are some links to show directions to parking and to the Rotunda area. This is our opportunity as the public, as outdoorsmen, as sportsmen, and as anglers to tell our legislature that taking away our rights recognized by the State's highest court will not be acceptable, and they are accountable to all of us! Bring your families and friends!

This is one of two rallies that will be held at the Capital on this issue. The other will be when this bill finally goes to committee. They only have to give 24 hour notice of what committee a bill is going to and when. Knowing how Mr. Ferry has handled things up to this point, I would plan on getting the exact minimum of 24 hours. Whenever that is scheduled, we literally have to PACK that meeting. There are a few people who we know are friendly to our cause that will be speaking for sure. These are public meetings, so anyone who feels very strongly can also speak. You don't have to. The most important thing is to just have that place packed to over-filling so that everyone can't even fit in. We want them to have to move this meeting to the Salt Palace! (Okay, so that's a little extreme, but you get the point)

Please join us Thursday at 10:00 AM for sure, and stay tuned for the last minute committee meeting. We need all the support we can get if we're going to defeat this bill. Also, pass this information on to EVERYONE in your email address book if you have to. The more people the merrier!

TS30,
I may have to be a little late due to a test that day, but not by much. Depends on how long it takes me but I will plan on being there!
Also do you mind if I copy and past your post on to another board? To spread the word.

Thanks! this is the first I had heard of the rally.
Oh and by the way I got a response from my senate representative and I am pleased to share his response.

Ok, I'm in Ogden and have sent 2 e-mails to my "supposed" reps. during the last several days and have not received any response. One of my concerns, besides the limited access to too few rivers was the 500ft rule. Seems to me that stops all fishing in Ogden canyon! [mad] Anyway I probably won't make it to the rally but is there someone you guys might suggest to send an e-mail to with better response and consideration? Am I too late?
