Fishing
The
US Fish and Wildlife Service supports fishing through over 60 Fish
and Wildlife Resource Management field stations located in 33
states. In addition to the National Fish Hatcheries, the Service works
in partnership with others to improve fish habitat and stream corridors.
Initiatives involve a number of fish passage projects and multi-agency
showcase
watersheds.
Each state has primary jurisdiction over the fishing programs that resides within state boundaries. The state fish and wildlife agencies that sell fishing licenses are the best source of information regarding fishing programs and regulations.
