Last Chance to Submit Comments by Friday
The California Fish and Game Commission will be meeting next week for the second time as part of the inland trout fishing regulation simplification process. Friday, August 14th is the last day to submit comments by email to be considered during the meeting.
CalTrout has submitted a comment letter outlining our recommendations. In the letter, we advocate for a balanced approach to increasing the opportunities for anglers to get on the water while also protecting native trout species and sensitive wild trout fisheries.
We hope you will join us in advocating for these specific wild trout fisheries in our letter. If you wish to weigh in, here are two ways to submit comments:
- Send an email to fgc@fgc.ca.gov. Feel free to borrow our language and talking points in our letter, but we encourage making your own individual statement as that will be most impactful.
- Call in and make a formal public comment on August 20 to help support conservation-minded angling and Protect the Best of California’s wild trout fisheries for future generations.
- To save time, view the agenda. We anticipate this will be discussed on August 20th approximately in the afternoon.
