Hey thanks for posting this. I went to the link and sent the email.
For any one else reading this post you should do the same if you value recreational fishing.
Freshwater fishing will be next on the list and it will get shut down via carbon tax and other environmental concerns.
I agree with the Shimano assessment - most Congressmen do not understand fully the impact on the economy from recreational fishing nor do they realize how fishermen and hunters are no 1 conservationists!
