The latest addition of "Pennsylvania Outdoor News" has an entry in the "Letters" section talking about a fly fishing stamp:
"FLY-FISHING STAMP IS A GREAT CONCEPT!
Last issue a fly-fisherman wrote about implementing a fly-fishing stamp. This really makes a lot sense.
I have tried fly-fishing, but I really don't care for it and it is expensive to get set up. Yet even though I have paid for my fishing license, I don't get to fish the "fly fishing only" areas that have the fish I helped pay for.
I also know that fly-fishermen have put a lot of time and effort into improving streams through organizations like Trout Unlimited. Of course there are other sportsmen's organizations, both local and national that are not fly-fishing organizations that do the same.
I think that a fly-fishing stamp would help to level the playing field for all the bait and lure fishermen, barring political influences of course."
Now I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I sure have a strong opinion on this matter. Thoughts?
