Fishing Forum

If you care about stream access for you or your posterity in Utah, PLEASE email your legislators and tell them to support HB 37. Important for fisherman around the state.

Even if you don't fish rivers/streams, your children might want to someday, so please contact your reps. Take 5 minutes and do it today. They need to hear from us.

The official update from the Utah Stream Access Coalition:


ONE MORE TIME - CONTACT HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE

Our time is running out - we only have 22 days left in this session, and HB37 is still stuck in the House Rules Committee. Enough horseplay and politics. Make the message clear - GET HB37 OUT OF RULES, and let's move on with this process!

We need you to email and/or call all members the House Rules committee AND House Leadership RIGHT NOW and let them know you support House Bill 37! Ask them to get HB37 out of Rules TODAY. If you want to see HB37 have a shot at becoming law, then we need to get this bill moving! We can only do that if you hammer the emails and phone calls! Even if you already sent an email - do it again!

SUBJECT: GET HB37 OUT OF RULES TODAY!

Awesome. We need EVERYONE to get involved.

The other side is making the case that recreation decreases property value and that HB 37 is going to let people trespass on private property. This of course is not true.

Please take 5 minutes to call or email your reps. It does make a difference.

This is the rhetoric we are up against:

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Not that it will do any good in getting the bill out of committee, I also sent a letter to Mr. Froerer telling him how much his recent speech to his constituents disgusts me. I will PM that letter to anybody that wants it. Its even safe for children to read. [cool][/#800000][/font]
