Guys, All is well with MN Fish. They are just transferring to a Call Center to handle incoming calls. Some of you seem to be looking for information or activity that isn’t occurring fast enough for you. Almost all of MN Fish’s activities will occur during the 2020 Legislative session. Their legislative goals are currently being shaped and behind the scenes lobbying will start in earnest this Fall. Again, look back at what they said they are about.
“The MN-FISH Sportfishing Foundation and Coalition, led by President Ron Schara, was formed to help reverse these negative trends and bring a strong, unified voice to St. Paul advocating for our anglers, our fisheries and our next generation of anglers.
There is only one way to take on these fishing related issues and raise awareness . . . and that’s working together! That’s why fishing leaders, innovators and legends came together to build a grassroots fishing advocacy group focused on improving fishing for future generations to enjoy. It’s your “State of Fishing”, and we need you to become a grassroots participant. Together, we can accomplish our mission!” KEY WORD “to St. Paul” The State Legislature is where policy and funding are generated from. Say tuned for more information from them.
If you look at the efforts of the old Sportfishng Congress and to the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Alliance (MOHA). Most things took 4-7 years to pan out. We need to give them our support and not expect big changes in the first few years.
