Legislation to Expand Ban on Lead Fishing Tackle No Longer on the Table in New Hampshire
Thank you for taking action against this burdensome legislation.
Because of your quick action, and that of other KeepAmericaFishing™ angler advocates, a burdensome and unwarranted bill that aimed to expand New Hampshire's lead fishing tackle ban is no longer being considered by the New Hampshire State Legislature this session.
On May 9, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to send SB 224 to interim study. While the bill is not yet dead, the legislature will not act on it again until the 2013 session. This is a significant victory for New Hampshire's anglers, especially considering how strongly anti-fishing interests advocated for the bill.
Expanding New Hampshire's ban on lead sinkers, jigs and other traditional fishing tackle is neither reasonable nor warranted without the scientific data to support it. Current regulations banning the use of lead jigs measuring one inch or less have already had an impact on New Hampshire's anglers' ability to fully enjoy their sport, and an expansion of these regulations would only serve to deter more anglers.
KeepAmericaFishing thanks you for helping to thwart this burdensome, unwarranted and scientifically unsupported legislation from moving forward in the state legislature.
This is an important victory for New Hampshire's angling community and you deserve our thanks for taking action!
