Fly Fishing Bloggers: “Public Lands Proud”

Across the  US West there is a growing initiative to remove public lands from the federal government and transfer management to state control. This national public lands transfer would over-burden state governments and budgets and would likely result in a sale of public land to private interests, severely limiting public access to land and water on which anglers depend.

In support of public lands and access, a coalition of fly fishing writers have collaborated on a “Public Lands Proud Blog-In,” raising awareness of what’s at stake. Read more in these excellent essays and observations by fly fishing’s most prominent bloggers:
