Angling Education Classes for Obtaining a State Fishing License
The Washington State Salmon Recovery Strategy "Extinction is not an Option" contains a proposal to increase public education about the needs of salmon and to strengthen laws and regulations regarding the illegal take of salmonids. Our proposal is to create a two-hour salmonid education class that children age ten to seventeen would attend, one time only, before receiving a steelhead or gamefish license. We believe that adopting this proposal will help achieve stategy goals of public education and salmon protection with participants of these classes being taught responsible fishing ethics, techinques and the importance of stewardship of our aquatic resources.
