Your Favorite Fishing Hole is Threatened - and so are Jobs!

CARF is fighting back and has filed a lawsuit against the State of California

We are calling you to join the California Association for Recreational Fishing (CARF) in protecting freshwater fisherman and outdoor industries from a very serious and looming threat.

Private stocking of California waters account for about half of the freshwater fish caught by some  1.7 million recreational fisherman, contributing $2.4 billion to California's economy - a major source of jobs!

This way of life and the jobs dependent on fresh water fishing are being threatened by a legal case quietly moving through the courts and costly regulations being drafted by the California Department of Fish and Game.  Proposed regulations could cost hatcheries and stocking ponds several thousand of dollars or more a year, putting many family operations that stock your favorite water holes out of business. Or simply stated -  less fish, less fishing and less fishing, fewer jobs!

To learn how you can protect recreational fishing, visit CARF's website at http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=weyj8qeab&et=1104541512597&s=71&e=001uG7d02jtMwuo8HfS_Dr3Faps080J6AWTUV6AKJ7Y0ygfjC5CLh72Gpo9xz8nycPW8eq-HOwwbfdZfxDxG7lzqRfvqbTLx-Fh017QChWhg4rOKmbr7UpQXg==.  The website has been updated to better serve the recreational fishing community with the latest industry news and what CARF is doing to protect a way of life. And most importantly, how you can help.

What You Can Do to Protect Recreational Fishing:
1)    Visit the website's "Take Action" page to protest proposed regulations.
2)    Help finance CARF's lawsuit and cause by becoming a member.
3)    Forward this email to fellow fishing enthusiasts and businesses.    

Only together can we protect freshwater fishing!

Sincerely,

California Association for Recreational Fishing
