Montana’s angling industry needs climate action

As Montanans, we live close to the land. Our unique way of life is directly tied to the quality of our lands, waters, fish and wildlife. We are persons who are counting on cold, clean waters and an abundance of trout. The quality of that resource directly impacts not only our personal recreation, but also our business interests and our livelihoods.

The need for climate action in Montana is real and it is urgent if we wish to remain a destination place for world-class fly-fishing. Too much is at stake if we don’t begin to tackle the threat of climate change. We encourage our elected officials to take climate change and the reduction of carbon emissions seriously, so we can preserve not only what makes this state so special, but also the thousands of jobs that rely on our outdoor economy.
