Conservation
Each time you pick up your fishing rod, you are
helping make fishing better. Every purchase of fishing tackle, from the
smallest weight to the biggest salt water rod,
carries a tax that goes
from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to state fish and wildlife
agencies for fisheries research, habitat improvement, aquatic resource
education programs, and fishing and boating access. This user- pay/ user-
benefit system has been in place since 1950, and has quietly cleaned up
rivers and streams, restored fish populations, and created public access
to waterways.
