It is a great time to be an American Fisherman
#1
From the book
The American Fisherman
By Willie Robertson and William Doyle

It is a great time to be an American Fisherman.

Depending on who's counting, there are 33 million to 46 million anglers in America today, and nearly one third of us are women.

Every year brings new advances in fishing technology and fishing conservation.
The $36 billion spent on the sport each year provides lots of jobs
It has never been easier or more fun to learn how to fish, or how to be a better fisherman.
The Web cable TV, and (Big Fish Tackle).

The vast majority of us are responsible ethical fisherman , who practice catch and release fish, or fish for food that we eat ourselves or share with others,
The taxes licenses and fees we pay help keep America's waters clean. Fishermen along with hunters are among America's strongest conservationists.
The benefits of fishing are incredible. You can fish all by yourself or with a bunch of friends and family.

Project Healing Waters has changed the lives of thousands of veterans through fishing.
Many veterans report that the program has changed their lives for the better and even saved their lives.

A fishing program that is changing people's lives for the better, is called Casting for Recovery , and it helps breast cancer survivors through fly fishing. For many women it is an experience of pure joy and peace.

All the great Americans who have enjoyed the gift of angling. We have a responsibility to saveguard that gift and to pass it on to the future generations. We have a duty to fish ethically and responsibly.

The Fisherman's Pray by Homer Circle
God grant that I may fish
until my dying day;
And when at last I come to rest.
I'll then most humbly pray;
When in His landing net
I lie in final sleep:
That in His mercy I'll be judged
as good enough to Keep
Amen
